Is this necessarily true? Couldn't the CONSTRUCT and/or DESCRIBE queries be used to find resources and view the whole graph (or specialized subsets) to determine if it's actually what is being sought? Is it better for DBpedia to do SELECTs and then retrieve the resource URIs individually? I suppose rather than assume that the data is all being exported into another space (which, I would think, definitely happening -- having data locally aids tremendously in indexing, for example) it could be a case of people just using SPARQL the way it seems that SPARQL should work? -Ross.
