Just a conversation starter about how others are using SPARQL in their apps.

 

I've found SPARQL to be a bit limited for certain types of queries, such as counting or grouping.  The way I'm solving this is to use SPARQL to get the Individual references I'll need (sub graph), then I use Jena to iterate of the result set and gather further information from properties on the Individuals.

 

What I'm finding enjoyable is that even after the query you can still walk the nodes in the result, something you just can't do in SQL...so it's a hybrid approach, 1st a query to reduce the graph, then back to jena api.
