Good morning,

Stas Malyshev & Magnus Manske ,

Thanks all for your prompt response and for sending me the related
site resources. I have been reviewing the references sent and am very
content
with this path seeking experience. I am looking forward to the Geo support
that
will be added with the next Blazegraph update, AFAIK. Although, I know not
much
about how this update will facilitate for the retrieval of Geo attributes (
e.g., bounding coordinates, shapefile data, Woe id etc .)

Either way, very interesting!,

Great Thanks,
Jorge Hernandez
