Patrick, I agree with you that there is a useage model that is around some kind of "get RDF about ..." operation - we have not convinced everyone of this. The important point is that the result is an RDF graph and part of the knowledge base, and that this is different from a result set (whether encoded in RDF or not). One of the requests I received in yesterday's telecon for the use case "Find the email address of "John Smith"[1] was for detailed explaination of what the results are used for. It could help me to understand "description" better if you could show how the software used the RDF.
