Re: Representing temporal data in RDF

I guess I misunderstood, too.  I thought
you were looking for the right way to do it

MKR is not triple-based,  To keep things
simple, let's just call it quad-based.

You are looking at both the external and the 
internal representation.  MKR's context is

    at space=s, time=t, view=v { ... };

Everything is stored by view.  Space & time are 
recorded, and in effect are subcontexts of view.

  Hi Richard,

  I see the query, but that doesn't give me any clue as to
  how you might represent things internally.  I guess I 
  misstated my question -- I'm interested in both the query 
  AND how it accesses temporal facts within an
  established RDF-compliant tool.  Is it simple to describe
  what the internal expansion of your query looks like
  (i.e., revealing your secret for overcoming the limitations of a
  triple representation)?

  Cheers, Bob
