Hey Dan, > I've recently been experimenting with SOAP interfaces for RDF query > protocols; while it works (the Python and Perl SOAP libraries made things > quite easy for me as a developer), I have some worries about the way SOAP > uses HTTP (eg. all my queries get represented as HTTP POSTs, where the > cacheable GET would make more sense).

One REST-friendly way of executing and representing complex queries over HTTP POST (those that can't reasonably be url-encoded) that I came up with is as follows. - query document is POSTed to a /query resource - POST response returns response code 201 (Created) with a body containing a link to a newly created resource (say, /query/result/3248374) - GETs on that new resource return the query results MB
