Thanks for the interesting link!

I'm also interested in seeing SPARQL better supported for some of my own
Exhibit and Sparql-using projects, e.g.
http://qtzibit.googlecode.com
http://voicetogoog.googlecode.com .

Apps like these can be deployed on an open, Linux based mobile platform (
http://swipe.nokia.com ) that fundamentally integrates semantic desktop
capabilities as part of the platform API:
http://harmattan-dev.nokia.com/docs/library/html/libqtsparql/main.html<http://harmattan-dev.nokia.com/docs/library/html/libqtsparql/main.html?tab=1>

Although such lower-level functionality is efficiently implemented in Qt (
http://qt-project.org ) C++ it can be made available in JavaScript/JSON and
exported to Exhibit via QML (Qt's integrated declarative Javascript):
http://harmattan-dev.nokia.com/docs/library/html/libqtsparql/qmlSparqlConnection.html

IMHO, SPARQL queries are just as interesting when they're your own data
taken from your own smartphone. For example, a list of all photos/video
tagged with location:

n950 ~ # tracker-sparql -q 'SELECT nie:url(?u) ?cty ?cry { ?u slo:location
[ slo:postalAddress [ nco:locality ?cty ; nco:country ?cry ]] .}'
Results:
  file:///home/user/MyDocs/Pictures/Objects005.jpg, Jakarta, Indonesia
  file:///home/user/MyDocs/Pictures/Objects008.jpg, Espoo, Finland
[...]
  file:///home/user/MyDocs/Pictures/Places007.jpg, Greater Mumbai, India
  file:///home/user/MyDocs/DCIM/12010001.jpg, Corona del Mar, USA
  file:///home/user/MyDocs/DCIM/12010002.jpg, Corona del Mar, USA
  file:///home/user/MyDocs/DCIM/12010003.jpg, Corona del Mar, USA

All contacts, calendar, email &  social network checkins, photo face-tags,
etc can be queried, e.g.:

n950 ~ $ tracker-sparql -q 'select nco:nameFamily(?u) nco:nameGiven(?u)
?num { ?u nco:hasAffiliation [ nco:hasPhoneNumber ?num ] . }'
Results:
