Got two questions:
=== Q1: Any SMWExpElements / SMWData converter? ===
Are there converters from/to the SMWExpElement related classes and the
SMWData/SMWDataItems combo already?
I ask since so far I have been thinking about using the
SMWData/SMWDataItem combo as native format in RDFIO, but it strikes me
that the SMWExpElement related classes much more closely matches the
data structure that you get from ARC2's RDF parsers.
Thus, I was thinking that if I can do only the conversion from ARC2 data
structures to SMWExpElements classes, and then there is already some
converters to SMWData/SMWDataItem, I wouldn't need to reinvent that
wheel...?
=== Q2: Status of SMWData/SMWDataItem as API? ===
Also I wondered what status the SMWData/SMWDataItem classes are supposed
to have, as a general API? ... Are they the supposed API, or is SMW
going towards preferring to talk SPARQL with all extensions ... or even
SMWExpElements?
I ask this since it does not seem clear that I will really *need* to use
the SMWData/SMWDataItem combo as a representation, if I do the wiki page
updates either with the Wiki Object Model extension or an own writer class.
I would still prefer to use it, if it is pushed as a preferred API for
these kind of things, but I wondered whether that is so for the
foreseeable future?
