Hi Juan, > This has been my concern from day one! And day one from me was when I > attended the Publishing Linked Data tutorial [1] at ISWC2008!

So after your work on SQUIN, what is your conclusion? Does the distributed querying approach work well enough that you can imagine a developer building an application/website using it? An application for users who have no appreciation for the underlying technology at all and hence no tolerance for hickups cause by it? Cheers, Georgi
