btw, one thing that could be quite cool, would be to add virtuoso to Elgg

 http://virtuoso.openlinksw.com/dataspace/dav/wiki/Main/

One could then leave the mysql DB as it is now, and yet have an RDF view on it,
including all the rdf tools one probably needs. I think Virtuoso will be part 
of KDE...
