Re: still not understanding FROM NAMED

That makes sense, but if I can do this

    SELECT ?classTitle
    WHERE {
      GRAPH <http://example.com/classes/new/201106>
      { ?s <http://example.com/ns/sample#classTitle> ?classTitle } .
    }

does FROM NAMED add anything besides the ability to list a few graphs 
and then says GRAPH ?varName so that the graph pattern is applied to 
several graphs?

thanks,

Bob
