I suspect I'll probably have to assign URIs anyway - the kind of
graph/subgraph stuff I'm aiming towards currently relies on making different
(Jena) Model instances, which I reckon would cause problems (or at least
inefficiencies) if I had to connect bnodes across models. I feel myself
being dragged kicking towards a relational model...

Yep, I'm aiming to use inferencing but only once I'm reasonably comfortable
with the modelling/representation - there's a lot of potential for bugs
wearing masks otherwise. I'll be very interested in hearing how you get on
(I've barely looked at cwm).

Cheers,
