Re: Metadata about single triples

Hello David,

so the problem is not to get the merge of the matching graphs but to query
it ? Sorry - I was not following this thread with full attention.

In this case it seems that you have to repeat the metadata pattern for
every query triple like Carsten suggested. Or you first get a list of
matching graphs and then use that list with from named in a second query.
