Re: EBUCore and Eurovision NewsML-G2 in RDF

Hi Jean-Pierre

from the two options you present, it seems to me that your question
boils down to

 "should I materialize inferences or not?"

or in other terms

 "should I compute all the inference once and for all and store them?"

where option 1 is "yes" and option 2 is "no".

Some elements of answers can be found here

  http://patterns.dataincubator.org/book/ch04s07.html

-- and the short answer is "yes and no" :-)
