Jeff; This is a timely question, as we have had some internal discussions on this topic. SPIN has been largely influenced by compatibility issues with current W3C standards. Those standards have focused on forms of monotonic reasoning - i.e. one can only assert new facts. SPARQL 1.1 Update changes that and we are reviewing the implications of including Update in SPARQL Rule (i.e. spin:rules), spin:query, etc. My belief is that allowing SPARQL Update queries in spin:query can be done for sure.
I should also point your attention to the recent SPARQL 1.1 draft (http://www.w3.org/TR/sparql11-update/) where some syntax changes have been made. E.g. MODIFY has been replaced with WITH, and a couple of other small changes. So it remains speculative to jump deeply into SPARQL 1.1 syntax implementations. The link with editor suggestion is a good one and we'll get it on the enhancement list (a nit for me as well). -- Scott On Oct 22, 8:13 am, "Schmitz, Jeffrey A" <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello, > Just a couple of nits I finally have gotten around to aksing about.
