Hi Sebastian, If I understand you correctly you're interested in making a RDP based adaptor/module for MetaModel? Sounds like a very cool idea... I don't know a lot about RDF but enough to know that it has a lot of potential and being able to query it "as any other database" would make a lot of sense for someone like me :-)
The big question with MetaModel modules always seem to be: Can the thing be mapped to a Table/Column oriented model? If so, we can do it. I think RDF exposes a kind of schema which we could probably map to a table with columns? Would be great... Can you point to a few good resources on the schema-model of RDF, then I'd love to come up with more concrete feedback.
