Thank you so much, Andy, that was very informative (especially the presentation).
If I have some OWL datasets and working on causal modeling, it seems like I'm more in the "RDF view of the world" vs the "property graph" view of the world, which pushes me toward Jena over Tinkerpop, if I'm understanding correctly. What other software would you recommend?
