Mulgara

The SPARQL protocol begins to describe a REST-like interface, but for true REST behavior we need more.

There are 2 main types of resources in Mulgara: Graphs and statements (triples).

For compatibility with SPARQL protocol, and because of the flexible nature of graph names, resources will need to be identified using URLs containing parameters.

<pre>

An alias for the _default-graph-uri_ parameter may be simply _graph_. So the URIs above would become:

<pre>

<pre>

<pre>
<code class="rst">

h9. ======= ======== ===================== =====================

Resource  HEAD    GET      PUT to a new resource POST                  DELETE

h9. ======= ======== ===================== =====================

Graph     type    RDF/XML  Create a graph        Loads data into graph Drops the graph
Statement exists?   ???    Creates the statement Reifies the statement Deletes the statement

h9. ======= ======== ===================== =====================

</code></pre>

PUTs to existing resources will do nothing.

Any suggestions on GET for a statement? HEAD already tells us if it exists.
