Re: LinkedMDB dump?

Hey Wouter,

these are data access methods that complement each other. They serve
different use cases.

SPARQL gives you selectivity and expressiveness. Data dump gives you full
data. LDF is something in between.

To provide only one of those might not be enough, but it does not mean a
query technology breaks the open data agenda?
