(I'm sending this to the SMW users list as well, because I think that's
where I think the question really belongs.) If I understand it correctly,
this is the third question that's come up recently about creating what could
be called "hierarchical" queries - queries where it's not just a set of
property values that are displayed, but property values of those property
values, and possibly further levels down as well; Felipe Freitas and Isabel
Sargent asked about this before.
I believe that the ideal solution to this will come in the form of one or
more new query formats, called something like 'hierarchy' or 'outline'. I
brought up the possibility of an 'outline' format a few months ago on this
list; you can see my thoughts about it here:
http://www.nabble.com/Proposed-new-query-formats-td19169521.html
I know someone is working on creating such a format (I don't know if he
wants his identity revealed just yet) but in any case, if there's this much
interest in the concept, maybe it's worth having a discussion about what the
ideal display layout of such a format would be.
