Hi Andrew,

as Scott states the current list of SPARQL functions is included in  
the TBC help's appendix. I don't believe we have any statistical  
functions, and certainly no standard deviation. SPIN makes it possible  
to define such functions yourself (although anything with a lot of  
aggregating will be difficult to implement).

Depending on your use case you may want to have a look at BIRT,  
integrated with TBC ME. This provides diagramming facilities and  
includes a number of mathematical/aggregation features that might be  
of interest. Having said that, you would not be able to use those BIRT  
features in other SPARQL queries, but you can send the results of  
SPARQL queries to BIRT for analysis and report generation.

I am not a mathematician but in some statistical functions seem to be  
easy to integrate, so in the worst case a bit of Java programming will  
be required. I will provide a better plugin developer's guide for beta  
2, but in the meantime the link that Scott provides might help.

Is there is further customer demand for such capabilities? If so, can  
anyone provide a list of functions that they would like to see? Maybe  
there are some Java libraries for the heavy lifting?
