We currently use ActiveRDF to manage federation, and it is not customized to specific stores. As I've stated before, at the moment we are trying to keep Explorator as general as possible, so we are avoiding building server-specific versions (although we already did some for FTS...). In general, if we think that Explorator can be used to explore the LoD cloud (with many different enpoints and servers), we cannot assume vendor-specific extensions. Cheers D
