Hi Andrae,
This is really good to hear and thanks for taking the time on getting this
done. I hope this, along with SPARQL and XA2, goes a long way in making
Mulgara the RDF store of choice.

:) We (Topaz) are going to start soon enough with this. We have some of the
capabilities of treating 'blob' as literal values for a triple via Java
annotations. Currently you can store this in Fedora
(http://fedoracommons.org), but the interface is simple enough that you
store elsewhere.

We will try and run some tests.
