I like the "Vietnam of computer science" article better :)
But since Sebastian and his team made a great deal of effort to create their
own ORM ("Object-RDF mapping") in the first place, we'd better acknowledge
instead that "object-something mappings" are useful tools, with (as all tools)
some limitations that one needs to be aware of.
Actually, even Jackrabbit has an object-something mapping, "object content
mapping" as they call it:
