I don't find SPARQL terrible, and have used it in commercial projects.

But RDF can't claim the "standardization" argument in good faith when RDF/SemWeb overshadowed Datalog/Prolog (based on a true ISO and community standard) for such a long time. SemWeb, like XHTML, SOAP/WS-* and other W3C stuff, failed on the web to become an enterprise-y thing instead, W3C being a pay-as-you-go org.

I don’t understand this argument. Several overlapping specs max exist. ISO specs weren’t built to take advantage of Web specs. W3C specs were. Like it or not, the W3C didn’t do any disservice to the ISO or fight unfairly.
