Great stuff Mike - thanks for the (very fast!) feedback.
I'd suggest a short paragraph in the StarDog documentation though, just reiterating what you say above. It's just that when I came across 'yet another' acronym such as SNARL (when I'm already having to digest RDF, RDFS, OWL, DC, FOAF, SPARQL, SerQL, Sesame, JENA, models, graphs, resources, etc., etc.) it would have been useful to know exactly why this one exists amongst that pantheon of acronyms and APIs (and sorry, yes, my question was about SNARL the API).
Thanks again,
Pat.
