It's a key and fundamental part of our KB. The early RDQL implementation did not support it, though the OKBC interface did (naturally). It was added to the RDQL implementation at users request. It wasn't hard to implement, but I've had graph level "data management" in since day 1 (it was a fundamental requirement), so I dont have any real comparison. - Steve
