If a URI actually refers to an RDF document, I would imagine there is no URL rewriting involved; it resolves to the document itself. And for SPARQL based, who knows what I may be dealing with?

Basically yes, although I'm not even requiring being able to do it directly via SPARQL (that would be actually nice)... Also, I'd be curious to know what is more efficient - dereferencing or issuing the query through the endpoint. Cheers D >
