Then I made a mistake in parsing your scaling semantics ;) Your scaling means "be fast in answering simple queries" My scaling means "be capable in answering complex queries with the advantage that it is also very fast in answering simple queries" As SPARQL is as fast as answering simple queries as restpark and can answer more complicated queries as well. SPARQL must scale in more dimensions than restpark. Therefore SPARQL scales and restpark does not ;) >> Not competing in most of the performance race is not the same as winning the race ;) > > Who said anything about a race. :) Well we where measuring something on a scale ;) > > Cheers, > Aidan Cheers, Jerven
