Ok, sorry - I didn't read all of the online documents - just the published papers and the one PhD thesis. And least there, it wasn't mentioned or maybe I just overlooked it.

I can't give you any valid answer here, I'm not the developer of the Jena API - Andy knows this for sure.

Again, Andy or some of the other core developers can give you more feedback. I'm just a happy Jena user and still learning about RDF, SPARQL, triple stores and all the other things. Lorenz
