Christoph,

Linked Data Deployment via Virtuoso is just about URL rewrite rules that 
map to SPARQL DESCRIBE or CONSTRUCTs plus the ability to leverage 
Transparent Content Negotiation (TCN) Quality of Service (QoS) algorithms.

I am going to revisit the docs examples to double check why you may have 
been confused.

As we've done with SQL to RDF Views, there will soon be a Linked Data 
Deployment Wizard. It will make you fill in the blanks en route to 
performing the following (since the current UI is still somewhat 
challenging)

1. Set URL {PATH} and {QUERY} patterns via regex
2. Identify Named Graph associated with target triples
3. Determine the scheme of your Entity identifier (here there will be 
options for  default or 3rd party custom resolvers since Virtuoso isn't 
HTTP scheme specific)
4. If Identifier is HTTP scheme based, determine type (# or slash 
terminated); if slash then it will automatically handle the requisite 
303 identifier disambiguation via redirect (since the Entity and its 
Descriptor Doc are both slash terminated HTTP URIs)
3. Set your SPARQL CONSTRUCT or DESCRIBE patterns via templates with 
{Rule-Result-URI Pattern} FROM {GRAPH-IRI}
4. Associate #3 with TCN QoS algorithms to handle the different 
representation formats
5. Done!
