I worked in a semweb company ~10 years ago - https://jena.apache.org/ as a general starting point is a useful library. I remember distinctly OWLIM https://www.w3.org/2001/sw/wiki/Owlim as a great triple store.

> 3. GUI/WebUI CMS for contributing to a shared versioned repository. Did you have some specific tool in mind? Because I completely agree that this is a great way of working with content. We have been doing that for a couple of months with our own tool. It uses Git and stores content in a pretty-printed JSON file. Techies can update that directly and push it manually. Content editors can use our tool to edit and commit to Git with a simple Web UI. Would that go into a direction you were thinking of? PS: You can try it out or read more about it on https://frontaid.io/.
