Kenny Into the Yobbos' Den, or, "Why We Should Not Be Here and What
Should Be Doing Instead", a rant on the state of Lisp and Lispniks
touching on Algebra software, lisp libraries, open source, Cello, Cells,
and somewhere along the way introducing Triple-Cells, Animated Data
Modelling With Persistence for Free.

Source of AG-based prototype, with not much work until Algebra software
ships:

RDF in general: http://www.w3.org/RDF/

Possible platform for portable/open triple-cells:
