I totally agree with you. All these things, simple ORM (actually Object Onotolgy Mapping), MVC, scaffolding, patterns for semantic DRY would be great to see as part of semantic web frameworks.

Other additions that have been mentioned include storage of binary data; searching and faceted browsing across stored metadata. (These are features already present in the Talis Platform http://www.talis.com/platform/index.shtml).

Thanks for your comments, cheers,

have to say this might be a nice feature-set basically describes “semantic-toolbox”, but it does not describe a framework.

Framework means tightly knit solution that brings standard coding patterns in sync with a specific new features.

To get a good feature set, take what’s written in the article and add important features of modern web frameworks such as Django or Rails. Where’s semantic equivalent to ORM? Where’s semantic-based solution for MVC? Where are good documentation about semantic DRY? Where’s semantic scaffolding?

Actually this seems like a really good project that will get a lot of spotlight if someone does it right.
