NoSQL beats triple stores in practice

Whilst I agree that structure in metadata is important, the complexity of RDF/OWL and triple stores severely limit their utility.

Like triple stores these technologies offer structured, accepting, flexible data models. Unlike triple stores these technologies have practical utility and are easy to implement.
