Re: SPARQL Federation Extensions draft

Hey Eric,

just for my understanding... If I have something like

FROM <uri>
SELECT ...
WHERE
{
   SERVICE <uri-1> { ... }
   SERVICE <uri-2> { ... }
}

the SERVICE parts are, sort of, hints only, right? What I mean is: the SPARQL processor is not required to send out further queries to <uri-1> and <uri-2> if it is confident that all data is available in <uri>. Or is it so that this is a compulsory step for the processor?

Ivan
