Semantic Web Framework

What semantic web frameworks are there, and what are the advantages / disadvantages of each? I've made extensive use of Jena, and I have looked at Sesame briefly. Are there others I should consider as well?

Redland is a good RDF framework (just like Andreas said). I am mainly using its Python bindings and am installing it on Mac OS X via MacPorts (e.g., port install redland-bindings +python).

You could use it with other languages too (see its bindings for Perl, Ruby, ...).

For pointers to some larger lists of RDF frameworks see Semantic Web FAQ: Tools.

If you are using Java, and are interested in OWL inferencing, you should look at Pellet. It has bindings to Jena and the OWL-API, which itself, is a useful semweb framework.
