Beats me how Ruben proposed the issue but did not even link to his own work. That is work-in-progress for some years now by a W3C Community Group.

There are three specs defined in there, see here. There are implementations of these specs and various parsers and serializers. Also there are higher-level APIs built on top of this stack that simplify things again. We still have to make it clearer how to start working with that, contributions are obviously welcome. The GitHub repository of the group gives a good idea of what is available.

Was setting a agenda, not pushing one, but yes, that's what I was hinting at 🙂

RDF/JS is the basis for sure, and we should build developer experiences on top of that.

@RubenVerborgh I see that but the result was that this was on a slide at the W3C graph conference and as an outsider one had the impression nothing exists yet

Ooh not good. Please talk to my colleague @rubensworks then!

@ktk, that was my mistake in preparing my slides: I forgot to include a link to rdf.js. Sorry! :( I have added a link now, for the benefit of anyone downloading my slides later.
