Definition of RDF Dataset Merge added to SPARQL query draft

[RDF WG member hat off, SPARQL WG chair hat on]

The SPARQL WG has added a definition of the merge of two RDF Datasets to 
the SPARQL Query editors' draft. The definition is at:

http://www.w3.org/2009/sparql/docs/query-1.1/rq25.xml#defn_RDFDatasetMerge

The hope is that if the RDF WG should choose to base graph work on the 
concept of an RDF Dataset that this merge definition will be useful for 
some of that work. (See, for instance, the thread that followed from 
Richard's proposal in 
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdf-wg/2011Mar/0277.html .)

The SPARQL WG is hoping to advance documents to Last Call by the end of 
this month, so any feedback on this definition would be appreciated 
soon. Perhaps this is a topic that can be discussed at the upcoming F2F?

thanks,
Lee
On behalf of the SPARQL WG
