What was the conclusion of the SIG event about Scalable Graph Data Applications?

Hello,

did anybody of you attend last week's SDForum meeting on Scalable  
Graph Data Applications?
http://www.sdforum.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=Page.viewPage&pageId=656&parent

What's the overall conclusion?
Is there some material online?
Slides, videos or interesting summary blog posts?


I'm of the opinion that self-adapting, scalable triple stores are a  
nucleus of all SW applications. Application programmers should not  
have to care about indices and physical optimization at the lower  
level. Similarly, many software engineers and programers have no clue  
about RDBMS optimization. That's why adaptive query optimization has  
become a very important field of research in the database community.

I think, once we have more intelligent stores, RDF will become an  
interesting alternative for any application (local, web-based,  
standalone, or distributed...) that have to cope with complex and even  
frequent changing data structures. And then you additionally get  
global interoperability and reasoning support ;-) and a huge amount of  
data out there.... which is easly combinable, queryable, learn-from- 
able...

What do you expect from the future of triple stores?

Best regards,
Andy
