I would encourage looking at rdf triplestores seriously, if the graph

Or, Topic Maps which is *not* a triplestore, closer to the OO model
(basically a meta data model), and don't carry the stack "overflow" of
RDF (RDF, RDFs, OWL 1-2-3) nor anonymous nodes. :)
That's not an entirely useful comparison on topic maps and RDF. I suggest:

We currently use topic maps, alot, in our infrastructure. If we were
starting again tomorrow, I'd advocate using RDF instead, mainly because
of the much better tool support and take-up.
