Sparql is supposed to return data which can be harvested from the web, and returned in 3-tuple format, and others, I guess. I wonder if it would be feasible to add sparql nodes as datasources for the drop down widget; instead of writing specific handlers for different websites and needs; not least queries across several sources.

Maybe you know of this already -- but the Sparkl and RDF modules do this.

Looks like createfromweb should be an API so that other modules like nodereference and RDF can plug into this... That would be awesome.

Add: On further thought, the .inc files allow you to do that already.

I have no idea on how to use the sparql and rdf together to get data into nodes. Afaik, sparql generates the data for the node, and I can't see any method for placing the data into nodes.

The whole RDF, sparql, neologism, etc. system is woefully underdocumented; or I don't understand it ;)

A generic operator_sparql.inc where users enter their query and results are handed over to CreateFromWeb as associative array would be a good idea! Cheers
