I have yet to hear an explanation for why academic research should
not be applied towards real world problems in partnership with open-
source communities other than 'this is just not the way things are
done in academia'. Can someone please lay out the reasoning for me?

---
As I said because they have different interests e.g. business = profit,
university = research funds and open source community = (for them)
useful implemenatation - they might overlap but do not have to.
Can you give me pointers to more information about 'permanent graph
stores'?

That was a translation error from my side - I was refering to persistent
rdf stores.
