We started with RAP, since its binding to PHP is easiest. But the improved architecture gives very easy access to RDF/OWL-like data that can be written to basically any semantic store that one can address from PHP. > I think several people voiced their interest in SMW scaling and > incorporating into a more standard chain of tools. Yes, that is also why we pushed that development.
