In fact, the mention of SPARQL is in there in the first place because Michael prompted me to do it, and I eventually agreed that hinting at the power of SPARQL would be the right thing to do. But, thinking back to my earliest experience with RDF... I would not want HTML authors to have to grok an actual SPARQL query right away. I think the abstract power of "you can query this stuff" is enough. However, I think your point about binding the abstract SPARQL to the example is correct. How about "friends of Alice's who created items whose title contains the word 'Bob'" ? > (Mini, mini comment: if you want to refer to N3, you should rather refer > to the team submission. Either N3 or Turtle...) Sounds good. Both updates have been made to the live version. -Ben
