We are not directly working on that, but we are progressing with the optional support for RDF/OWL stores to be used with SMW. And those stores do already have various APIs that one might use (for querying, webservices based on the SPARQL query language and result format are usually available). We also have considered direct support for "remote ask" but did not find time to do it yet. This would need some idea on how to best encode results of such a format. Some XML format is used in SPARQL, but they have only at most one value per "table cell" whereas #ask has a list in each table cell. One could also make an XML container based on a simple RDF-encoding, or just use some ad hoc XML as seems useful.
