i think one of the important feature would be the query processor for automatic query formation. this will involve making query processor UNDERSTAND the data in GGG and the context in which query is asked. however in the semantic web i havn't found anything directed at automatic query formation. extracting any peice of information requires knowledge of structure of data(ontology) and hand coding the query to SQARQL equivalant. has any work being been done previously on auto query generators ?
