yes, especially for LOD. In our case, we'll have to provide means of  
restriction and even billing (when SemWIQ gets integrated into Grid  
middleware - our requirement is a middleware for virtual data  
integration in the Grid). However, because I want SemWIQ being as  
generic as possible and also usable as a general data integration  
middleware, I want to re-use as much as possible and build on  
standards to be compatible to LOD/WOD.

sure. That's why I would extend voiD and maybe even Scuvo [1] for my  
purposes.

that's why I said, it's just because of performance.
At the moment my DataSourceMonitor uses a { [] a rdfs:Class } query to  
get classes of a dataset and then it iterates over classes to fetch  
instance statistics: count (*) where { [] a c_i } - this can be done  
remotely. However, for good cost-based optimization I need histograms  
for any class/property[/range] combination. RDFStats will run directly  
(and "nice") at a SPARQL endpoint to generate such histograms - at  
least in my case. Query federation for >20 public SPARQL endpoints is  
not feasible anyway with acceptable performance if you have many joins.
