I am not doing that. My point was, you referred to JDBC which lead to my comment. Look, we are going round in circles here.

But I guess I could have been clearer. I simply wanted you to clarify the APIs (SQL or RDF) that you are using in your app so I can actually assess your response to Orri's post about Virtuoso, and even better, correlate all of this with the ping I received from Alan about Owlgres etc.. Anyway, I think we can close this whole thread. I can find get these answers for myself once I have time to look at little closer at what you've implemented. > >> I am trying to determine if we've ended up with two things that are >> artificially disconnected :-) >> > > Only under a robust, extensive set of assumptions that I guarantee "we" do not > share. :> > > Cheers, > Kendall > > -- Regards, Kingsley Idehen Weblog: http://www.openlinksw.com/blog/~kidehen President & CEO OpenLink Software Web: http://www.openlinksw.com
