The discussion on LD patch (note "LD", not "RDF") is one for on important use case although it's it's not the only use case. When the app is aware of how the data is structured (Tim's apps are an example of this), the app can make operations on the data that are handled at a higher level than just triples (e.g. paths). Other uses cases are incremental backup, replica maintenance and data staging. Tools to support these are not "app aware" and should work in the general triple case. Andy
