AFAIR there is no method for this. It has not been needed so far. My current work on RDF store integration will also lead to some changes in this class, so code that depends on it will need to be adjusted for SMW 1.6.0. > > 2. > Is it intentional that no value is ever really deleted from the store? > What then is the difference between SMWStore::deleteSubject() and > SMWStore::clearData()? Waht exactly do you mean? Data is deleted from the store when it is no longer given on a wiki page. The only kinds of "value" that are kept forever are wiki pages: the store needs to make an internal reference for all pages that are used in properties, even if they do not have articles in the wiki. These page references are never deleted, but one could make a clean-up script if this should ever be deemed a problem. Regarding the two methods, I agree that it is not clear what their difference is supposed to be (i.e. what different meaning they intend to capture). I think deleteSubject() should probably be the one that is deprecated and removed, since there is indeed no special way of "deleting" a subject in an SMW store other than to clear all its data.
