Re: Simple Linked Data Publishing For Non Programmers

Hi Kingsley,

You wrote....

*Yes, but that's *[need for caching, replication] *another topic for a
different debate since SPARQL isn't mandatory for Linked Data Publishing.
Its just a *very* powerful declarative query language for exploiting Webby
Linked Data*

Maybe I'm missing something here, but surely any alternative to SPARQL
would face exactly the same  reliability over distributed-data problem?

                              Cheers,  -- Adrian
