It also makes for lumpy (i.e., inconsistent) semantics, since FROM <service-provider-uri> doesn't mean the same thing as FROM <any-other-graph-uri>; or, if it does mean the same thing, it's an unnecessary constraint on the service provider, which is now required to publish the triples it wants every query to be executed against (in addition to any other ones the requester specifies) at some URI. > It seems reasonble to me that the default behaviour should be to trust > whatever the service trusts, overridable by specifying given graphs. After > all, the client is passing the request to a specific service to answer. Hmm, I think talk of "trust" is misleading. But, otherwise, I agree. That is, using my earlier example, I don't trust myself, I simply believe that p, and I want p to be one of the claims that is in the background when I answer queries. Other, *pure* query answering services may not have any background beliefs, which is fine. Kendall
