Re: Extending SPARQL XML result format

Hello

Thanks for your answers, here is slightly more extended description of the
use-case : I am preparing a "SPARQL query mediator", that is a
SPARQL-compatible service that will send the same query to multiple sources
and aggregate the results into a single resultset. It can also articulate
part of the query with other datasources (like if the SERVICE keyword was
used). This involves preprocessings on the query, and post-processing on
the result sets.

   - I would like the SPARQL client to know if one of the source has
   reached a LIMIT number of results (I plan to limit the number of results to
   X for each source)
   - I was also thinking about proving the "explain" of the query
   processing if the SPARQL client asked for it (which sources were queried,
   how the query got transformed, etc;)

So the information could be pretty structured and does not seem to fit well
in HTTP headers.

Thanks for your ideas. I might try parsing with additionnal XML elements
and let you know.

Best Regards
Thomas
