Or better yet, have it added to the Jena ARQ libs in some way?

A good place to monitor is the Composing the Semantic Web blog [1] in which I will post use cases and other background on SPIN in the next few days. However, I believe SPIN is very easy to learn if you have some familiarity with - SPARQL and - Object-oriented modeling/programming A good place to start is to install the TBC beta1 and use the workspace that is included in it (or re-run the Import RDF/OWL library from the web wizard. This includes an example file KennedysSPIN which illustrates all major features of SPIN as a kind of Hello World example. The help pages of TBC also contain some background, as do [2] and [3]. And yes, TopBraid includes an API for SPIN. In the beginning this will assume that you implement your use cases as TopBraid plugins. There is also a free web service that anyone can use to convert between SPARQL and SPIN syntax [4] I hope this helps for now - more will follow.
