Hi Uche, 

As you may have already seen, there is now a development release of
RDFLib[1] that contains the ZODB BTree backed TripleStore. Have you had
any time to further explore your 4Suite driver for RDFLib-in-ZODB idea?

Redfoot's[2] notion of a RedNode is where I have been layering
context/scope support on top of RDFLib to date. The support will soon be
pushed down into RDFLib and SIR[3] expanded to include the context aware
interfaces.
