SPARQL Protocol

[Danny Ayers <danny.ayers@xxxxxxxxx>]

fyi, Kendall Grant Clark's been putting this together for the W3C Data
Access Working Group: "...a protocol for accessing RDF data and for
conveying RDF queries from query clients to query processors".

Used with RSS 1.0, it could fulfil a similar role as that envisaged
for the Atom Protocol.

[[
The SPARQL Abstract Protocol is made up of seven orthogonal
operations: query, getGraph, getOptions, makeGraph, dropGraph,
addTriples, and deleteTriples.
]]

Its HTTP binding appears to make good use of the available verbs.

(The Sparql query language itself is at
http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-sparql-query/ )

Cheers,
Danny.
