to see what they might need.  One thing I have seen come up is the need for
more flexibility in SPARQL w/r/t date comparisons.  It only supports
xsd:DateTime comparisons, but historians often need to deal in grosser units
like years.  See Exploring Historical RDF with
HEML<http://digitalhumanities.org/dhq/vol/3/1/000026.html>
.
