All,

I wish to give users the option to request a Kevin Beacon game <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_Degrees_of_Kevin_Bacon> type query, but for connections between any two resources. I don't understand all the optimization that where necessary to enable the Faceted Query Service, but I do recall Kingsley saying that the key is that we know the property IRI a-priori. Would it be possible if to exclude the property for a limited number of properties in the path and still be able to not crash the service? For example, can people search for "All connections between this and that, up to 4 degrees of seperation"? I believe this is a key to serendipitous discovery.

If no enhancement to the engine is possible to acheive this without ruining the execution time, then how do you suggest I try implementing this with what the API already offers?
Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon is about Transitive Closure option to SPARQL in V6 plus the ability to perform a Transitive Crawl via the Sponger.

Best you wait for some examples from the Graph Analysis functions examples that will soon be exposed via LOD etc..
