Re: The Power of Virtuoso Sponger Technology

I'd say, if i understand well

that that works only for queries where you need the extra dereferenced
data just "additionally" e.g. to add a label to your result se
if you need the remote, on the fly reference data to e.g. sort by
price you'd have to fetch all from the remote site ..
