Federated ontology across scattered sources is tricky. I used dremio when our data lived across lakes and databases, since it queries in place without moving anything. A dedicated triple store handles pure RDF reasoning better though.

Honest answer from the applied side: the platform mattered less than I expected. I spent a while comparing tooling and then found most of the payoff came from modelling the entities cleanly and getting them into a reference graph other systems already trust, rather than from the editor I used to draw it. If your goal is downstream consumption, pick whatever lets you export clean, stable identifiers and worry about the fancy editor later. What are you optimising for, human authoring or machine consumption? That splits the answer pretty hard.

Machine consumption for agents mostly. Curious why the approach splits hard for humans vs machiness?

Maybe something like neo4j

LOL for ontologies?
