we have been investigating precisely the kinds of questions you ask at the end of this post, both for Semantic Web and for “regular” Web applications.
We have built an environment called HyperDE, that is based on Ruby on Rails, but works with RDF data instead of relational data. It also includes additional abstractions to help deal with navigation and interface issues.
This enviroment is freely available for download at http://www.tecweb.inf.puc-rio.br/hyperde.
It is based on a design methodology called OOHDM (and its Semantic Web version, SHDM), which you can read more about at http://www.tecweb.inf.puc-rio.br/oohdm.
