That was just a random example. There are several query languages for
RDF, and the flavor of the day is SPARQL
http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-sparql-query/
(Warning: For some reason that web page really messes up my Firefox at
the beginning. But if you can scroll down far enough, it'll be OK.)
A few others are listed here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RDF_query_language
Exhibit itself currently does not have a query language. It just has a
simple query API.
Tabulator supports SPARQL
