Clearly any one statement could return its triple as a row. What would play the role of a table? The RDF data on one particular server at one base URL? The fields would be pretty unintelligible to people unless there were human-readable labels - where would they come from, if they were not specifically supplied as labels by other RDF statements? How should anonymous and generated nodes be handled? Cheers, Tom PReceived on Wednesday, 21 November 2001 00:05:05 UTC
