I'm keen to know more about the new SPARQL endpoint support, as I think this is very exciting. > Support for using the PHP-based interface of the RAP RDF > store is discontinued.

Since SMW is now processing SPARQL / RDF internally (I'm guessing), does this mean that we can (in theory?) query a given endpoint using #ask? I'm curious if this would require synchronization of the data in the endpoint (as some docs seem to suggest), or if ad-hock endpoints can now be queried using #ask. Thanks for all the great and continuing work on this project! Dan. |
