Re: JDBC Driver for Marmotta

Dear Bernhard,

(moving this discussion to dev@marmotta, since it is more about 
technical things than users' support)

So, if you understood correctly, you would like to have a Spring Data 
Source directly consuming the triple store by JDBC.

Strictly talking, that would be a Data Source for the KiWi triple store 
[1]. Although right now it is true there is not difference, since that 
one is the single triple store currently supported by Marmotta.  Perhaps 
we should improve how the platform is described [2]... But our roadmap 
for the short-term future (hopefully for 3.2.x) is to be able to run 
Marmotta over any Sesame-based triple store.

The clarification comes because in LMF (the former project) we were 
thinking about something similar, providing support to Spring Data [3]. 
But in that case was at a resource level (so using LDP and/or SPARQL, 
most likely), and not directly at a low level. But we never managed to 
find time to implement such idea.

But your proposal also looks quite interesting, and it could be quite 
useful in some use cases. Please, keep us updated about it :-)
