I understood it as a service which answered the query as sent (hence no service-default dataset). So if a query does not use FROM/FROM NAMED, or the protocol does not have default-graph-uri/named-graph-uri, then the query can't be performed. The query request was complete in itself. You obviously didn't mean that. Could you expand on the term please? AndyReceived on Friday, 3 June 2005 17:54:49 GMT
