Re: Review: SPARQL 1.1 Federated Extensions

  Hi all,

I have a question regarding your comments about sections 4.1 Definition 
of Service and 4.3 Service evaluation semantics (now sections 3.1 and 
3.2). In section 3.1 the evaluation of SERVICE is defined using an 
algorithm meanwhile in section 3.2 I use an algebraic expression. 
Section 3.1 received several comments from you both (Axel and Lee) and 
section 3.2 none. Both sections describe the same, the service 
semantics. I'd prefer to remove section 3.1 and leave only section 3.2 
for describing SERVICE semantics. For me it contains a clearer and 
cleaner definition. The only thing missing is the silent op function, 
but I would add it in the next days. I need to think a little bit about 
it. Also, a bit more textual explanation would be needed.

any comment?
