Which can incidentally be messed around with using XSLT :
http://www.w3.org/XML/2000/04rdf-parse/
and elsewhere.

I like the sound of this, but would hesitate at "basic XML technologies".
Graphs in XML aren't too pretty whatever the syntax, and perhaps I'm wrong
but as an extension of this the XSLT toolkit strikes me as possibly
inappropriate. I know you can do very cool stuff (it's Turing Complete,
innit?) but whether XSLT is the easiest route, hmm... Having said that,
there is certainly some interesting work being done around RuleML, and
perhaps their representations might help with Analogical Reasoning using
XSLT.
A totally gratuitous "incidentally" : a new foal in the Mozilla stable is
Topicalla, a Semantic Web client (at this stage just RSS 1.0 and FOAF).
What's relevant here is that it uses an XPath-like approach to moving around
the RDF graph (and generating the UI dynamically).
