This is really cool, a SQL language for RDF. So the first thing I thought when I browsed this abstract is that we could build systems that treat websites like databases and instead of GET/POST/DELETE/PUT operations we could do CRUD operations. Very cool.

RDF is a flexible and extensible way to represent information about World Wide Web resources. It is used to represent, among other things, personal information, social networks, metadata about digital artifacts, as well as provide a means of integration over disparate sources of information. A standardized query language for RDF data with multiple implementations offers developers and end users a way to write and to consume the results of queries across this wide range of information. Used with a common protocol, applications can access and combine information from across the Web.
