hi,
i've got a modelling issue. best i start with an example. say, i'm
modelling a text-object. it looks like this:
subject1 type article
title "some title"
creator "a name"
body complex_xhtml_blob
now ... in some cases the body may be a blob (as above) while in other
cases it is structured, like this:
subject1 type article
title "some title"
creator "a name"
body _bnode
_bnode subtitle "some subtitle"
paragraph "some text"

the question now is: is it possible to query for all predicates/
objects of a given subject and let the query automagically follow any
_bnodes it encounters on the way? that's essentially the sparql
DESCRIBE command [1] returning a Concise Bounded Description [2] i
guess.
does TQL even provide the capability to identify a bnode and do
something different in that case)?
thanks for your time!
thomas
