This use case -- the need to validate sets of RDF triples in an application-specific way -- is described in this paper on RDF and SOA from the 2007 W3C Web of Services workshop: http://www.dbooth.org/2007/rdf-and-soa/rdf-and-soa-paper.htm#data-validation SPARQL certainly seems like a natural fit, since it is an established standard, though something that is more specifically tailored to application-specific validation may be more concise or convenient if it becomes established. -- David Booth, Ph.D. Cleveland Clinic (contractor) Opinions expressed herein are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of Cleveland Clinic.
