Some points on this:

1) The Chandler folks had a lot of discussion on zodb-dev.

2) There is already a ZODB-backed storage for rdflib:

   http://rdflib.net/

3) Andrew Kuchling has done quite a bit to integrate zodb, rdflib, and 
python:

   (can't find the other links, but it's in the rdflib archives)

4) The next OSCOM conference, in Harvard this summer, will focus on the 
intersection between content management and semantic web.
