[Mulgara-general] Setting SAIL with Mulgara?

[David Legg]

I'd like a sanity check please!

I would like to convert a project that currently uses Sesame to using 
Mulgara instead.  Unfortunately, the code is liberally sprinkled with 
references to Sesame objects which would make re-targeting it very involved.

Now that I've taken a cursory glance at the Sesame architecture it 
occurs to me that it has been designed to allow other triplestores to be 
incorporated.  I think I need to create a Mulgara implementation of the 
SAIL API (Storage And Inference Layer)... or maybe this already exists 
somewhere?

I suppose one fly in the ointment is the query language.  Sesame uses 
SeRQL or SPARQL neither of which are supported in Mulgara (but that's 
changing real soon now - right Paul? ;-) ).  It's funny... it takes me 
back to all the dialects of SQL we had to worry about in ages past.  
Actually, it might not be that bad because since Sesame allows you to 
use one of two query languages it already has a mechanism to add a third.
