Shortbol
Shortbol is a scripting language. It was designed for SBOL but can be used for any semantic web applications as a powerful alternative to turtle.
The shortbol tools provide a complete pipeline to go from a shortbol script to xml-rdf that can then be used in any semantic web tool.
Example web site
There is a proof-of concept website powered by shortbol, with a tutorial where you can learn shorthand, and a sandbox where you can type in your own shorthand scripts and see them evaluated.
