Re: "Microsoft Access" for RDF?

Hello Paul,

an interesting aspect of such a system is the ordering of triples - even
if you restrict editing to one subject. Either the order is predefined and the
user will have to search for his new triple after doing an insert or the user
determines the position of his new triple.

In the latter case, the app developer will want to use something like
reification - at least internally. This is the point when the app developer 
and the Semantic Web expert start to disagree ;-)

Maybe they can compromise on a system with a separate named graph per triple
(BTW what is the status of blank nodes shared between named graphs?).

Regards,

Michael Brunnbauer
