Andy Seaborne writes: (in the Named Containers post) > [...] > > ==== FROM > > This is as much about "protocol" as query but its needed for the local > query case where there isn't a protocol layer." > In the local case I would consider the protocol layer to be the programming API, and the FROM functionality fits equally nicely in this layer as it does for the remote protocol. Moreover, 'FROM' buys little in terms of interoperablitiy in the local case, since the client still has to use a seperate api to stage the RDF store(s) and actually issue the query. (all IMHO!)
