Observation about SPARQL Update syntax: SPARQL Update is quite verb-rich, making it (IMHO) harder to learn the syntax, and it seems to me that one of CLEAR and DELETE is redundant now: DELETE GRAPH <a> DELETE DEFAULT # see previous mail DELETE DATA { <s> <p> <o> . } DELETE WHERE { <s> <p> ?o . } DELETE { ?o <p> <s> . } WHERE { <s> <p> ?o . } The first one is equivalent to DELETE WHERE { GRAPH <a> { ?s ?p ?o . } } which is perhaps more evidence that two verbs don't make it clearer. We do still need DROP GRAPH, as that does something slightly different. - Steve -- Steve Harris, Garlik Limited 2 Sheen Road, Richmond, TW9 1AE, UK +44 20 8973 2465 http://www.garlik.com/ Registered in England and Wales 535 7233 VAT # 849 0517 11 Registered office: Thames House, Portsmouth Road, Esher, Surrey, KT10 9AD
