To see if I correctly understand this idea: Am I allowed to do the following graph specification: G { s p o . } G ng:definedBy Q1^^ng:Query . G ng:definedBy Q2^^ng:Query . ? And does this mean that G is the UNION of * the explicitly defined statement set { s p o . } * the result set of Q1 * the result set of Q2 ? Cheers, Michael -- Dipl.-Inform.
