I don't know whether Mark is putting a RDF/RDQL backend onto moby, but
within the mygrid project we have created a similar semantically
searchable registry. The current version, written by Pinar Alper, uses
a RDF backend (using Jena) and gets all of its query functionality
through RDQL. We've also used RDF/RDQL for storing 

It works quite well. 

So yes there is definitely a potential application for RDQL within
future versions of moby. Mark can say for himself if he is going to
try it.
