Scott

Thanks very much for the script.  Maybe it is time to learn  
SparqlMotion :)

  I have been using subversion for the source models stored in .n3  
format, but not for the rdf/xml files as they are derived  
automatically from the .n3. and don't need to be kept under source  
control.

Thanks
Arthur
