TechnicaLee Speaking: Why SPARQL?

From Lee Feigenbaum’s “TechnicaLee Speaking: Why SPARQL?“:
I’m quite pleased to have played a part in helping SPARQL become a W3C Recommendation. As we were putting together the press release that accompanied the publication of the SPARQL recommendations, Ian Jacobs, Ivan Herman, Tim Berners-Lee, and myself put together some comments (in bullet point form) explaining some of the benefits of SPARQL.
One step closer to semantic heaven.
