Agreed, this is a non-RESTful HTTP API to execute triple patterns.Furthermore, I'd say that the (rough) relational equivalent would be an API that lets you retrieve values from a nominated column where rows from a single table match a stated (singleton) primary key, or primary key values where the row matches a specified value in a specified column.Maybe useful in some cases, but pretty far from what people actually write (non-RESTful) APIs over a relational database to do. (Sorry, Luca, I know you're going for simplicity but you brought up the case of Web Services over RDBMSs).

REST APIs must use hypermedia; http://roy.gbiv.com/untangled/2008/rest-apis-must-be-hypertext-driven A hypermedia solution would declare a form that described how to construct a new URI which could be used to retrieve the data via GET. The form would provide the parameter names (e.g. "subject") along with their types (e.g. rdf:subject). Mark.
