Tim; Yes, you can pass any resource (URI, or "object" or "instance",
if you like) as an argument to a SPIN template. For example, using
the kennedys model, the resource kennedys:JosephKennedy is an
"instance" that contains a "list" of children - multiple values for
the object property kennedys:child. You can pass
kennedys:JosephKennedy to any template and then query its contents -
e.g. suppose you pass that resource as ?arg1, then {?arg1
kennedys:child ?child} gets the list of children. You can create any
data structure and pass to a SPIN function, template, or magic
property as an argument, then query its contents in the SPARQL
definition.
If by "list" you mean an RDF list, which is *occasionally* useful,
then pass the resource representing the list to the template and use {?
arg1 rdf:rest*/rdf:first ?listmember} to find all members of the list.
