Same with PoolParty Thesaurus Management [1]: We provide "stored procedures" and can offer a variety of pre-defined SPARQL queries, which can execute queries mentioned by Simon. But this is not enough: If developers could execute at any SPARQL endpoint, e.g. [2] queries like http://vocabulary.semantic-web.at/PoolParty/sparql/semweb/allConceptSchemes or for any given concept, e.g. [3] queries like http://vocabulary.semantic-web.at/semweb/131/allNarrowers http://vocabulary.semantic-web.at/semweb/131/allRelateds/prefLabel="foo" in a STANDARDIZED way, then developers don´t have to care about anymore if the underlying technology is PoolParty, TopBraid or something else AND they don´t have to learn Sparql but rather could concentrate on a vocabulary´s inherent scheme & logic, and exactly this is necessary to get things going also for non-SemWebber in my opinion. If anyone is interested in defining such queries, please let me know!
