3.5 Issues with rdf_db

This RDF low-level module has been created after two year experimenting with a plain Prolog based module and a brief evaluation of a second generation pure Prolog implementation. The aim was to be able to handle upto about 5 million triples on standard (notebook) hardware and deal efficiently with subPropertyOf which was identified as a crucial feature of RDFS to realise fusion of different data-sets.

The following issues are identified and not solved in suitable manner.

subPropertyOf of subPropertyOf
is not supported.
Equivalence
Similar to subPropertyOf, it is likely to be profitable to handle resource identity efficient. The current system has no support for it.
