Jena is everything but user friendly, it has a lot of weird edge cases, bugs, and a horrible API.
RDF4J is okay for RDF, but completely ignores OWL.
RDFLib is a bug ridden mess, have you ever used it, or checked their issue tracker, and commit history? With that amount of production breaking bugs that haven't been resolved for years, it might as well be unmaintained.
Redland has last been updated years ago. Sure there's software that's finished, but with the complexity of RDF, OWL and friends, my hypothesis would be "it's dead Jim".
I haven't used dotNetRDF, but it looks okay at first glance.
So at least you can do semantic web on windows...
YES! THEY'VE BEEN TESTED FOR 20+ YEARS AND ARE STILL HALVE BAKED, BUG RIDDEN, REASEARCH PROJECTS. MY POINT EXACTLY.
These are all smart, dedicated people. The semantic web ecosystem is too complex to get right, no matter how many hours and $$$ you throw at it.
I have nothing to gain from talking about the shortcomings of RDF and it's related standards, except maybe inspire people to come up with something better, and to save themselves some pain and suffering.
The pot calling the cattle black. Your motives seem more questionable, with the whole "username matches the topic talked about", and has a Semantic Web consultancy business, shtick.
Research projects? Research is something coming out of academia, as you know. These are open-source projects with active developer communities. Jena has long been under Apache, RDF4J is now under Eclipse Foundation.
Can you for once answer why large companies in the industry are using RDF/SPARQL as of today if it's so "dead"? Here's a list: http://sparql.club
