Re: Pondering RDF Path

A limited subgraph, indeed. I suspect that some RDF-Query cases aren't
expressible in the RDF-Path that I sketched. For example:-

?x foaf:knows ?person .
?x foaf:knows ?anotherPerson .
?anotherPerson foaf:knows ?person .

With ?person as the end point. I suppose that since SELECT in RDQL and
SquishQL pretty much identify end points, there's nothing that
RDF-Path can do that RDF-Query can't.

But again, see my previous email for an API approach that wouldn't be
possible using RDF-Query--it seems to me that that approach might
yield faster results. But I'm not sure.

Cheers,
