Yes, SPARQL and RDF formats are implementation details. None of them change the fundamentals: 1. give names to entities (*things*) of interest 2. use de-referencable URIs as names so that they resolve to documents bearing useful information (e.g., description of URI referent) 3. useful information should take the form of fine-grained structured document content (e.g., an EAV graph pictorial where entity=attribute value pairs coalesce around a description subject's URI based name) 4. refer to other entities of interest by name. That's me paraphrasing TimBL's meme without the insertion of implementation details such as RDF and SPARQL. -- Regards, Kingsley Idehen Founder & CEO OpenLink Software Company Web: http://www.openlinksw.com Personal Weblog: http://www.openlinksw.com/blog/~kidehen Twitter/Identi.ca handle: @kidehen Google+ Profile: https://plus.google.com/112399767740508618350/about LinkedIn Profile: http://www.linkedin.com/in/kidehen
