Of course, we want to understand better what is possible to do with Virtuoso, and I will be working on it next weeks. :) Regards, Samur On Tue, Jun 2, 2009 at 12:56 PM, Daniel Schwabe <dschw...@inf.puc-rio.br>wrote: > Kingsley, > anticipating Samur's answer, > Kingsley Idehen wrote: > >> ...Samur, >> >> Are you exploiting the "Retry" feature of Virtuoso's Anytime Query >> function? >> > no > >> >> Look at: http://lod.openlinksw.com/sparql (note the options at the bottom >> of the page which are part of our sparql protocol extensions). >> > are you referring to the timeout feature? > >> >> You have to think in terms of location aware cost-optimization if you want >> to venture into the federated query realm (SPARQL or SQL).
