Claude,
The general idea of support for serialization makes a lot of sense,
rdf-hadoop and DataBags.
The specifics of java serialization - not necessarily so. We might be
forced into that for Java RMI if that's a goal but there are other RPC
mechanisms including multi-language ones (Thrift).
I would still like to see Node as a serializable object, or some standard
mechanism to get a serialized version of the node. Any thoughts along this
path would be appreciated.
I had thought about something along the lines of a type byte and raw data
as a serialized form. But that would mean that
Just for discussion, here is a somewhat idealised form of Node:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/jena/Experimental/jena3-sketch/
As before there is one "Node" for any RDF term + extras 9variables,
graphs as nodes of a graph, "extension") because triple and quads are
Node,Node,Node ... this lay
