Thank you for the work that has gone into this! I am very glad to see progress toward supporting an RDF PATCH operation, and I am glad to see the thinking that has gone into ensuring simplicity. However, I also have concerns about inventing a new syntax. Overall, I think progress would be better served if, instead of inventing a new syntax, a simple restricted set of operations were defined as a *profile* of SPARQL 1.1 Update operations. I think this would provide important benefits over inventing a new syntax: - Users would not have to learn yet another syntax that is confusingly similar to SPARQL. Using a single language decreases development and maintenance costs. - Implementers could simply plug in an existing general-purpose SPARQL engine to get a new system up and running quickly. Later if they decide that it is worth the development cost to optimize performance, they could replace the general-purpose SPARQL engine with special-purpose engine that is stripped down and optimized for this profile. - Implementers would have the option of supporting additional SPARQL 1.1 Update operations, beyond what the profile requires, in a consistent 100% compatible way. I suggest that the LDP working group define an RDF PATCH operation as a *profile* of SPARQL 1.1 Update, restricted to a set of operations similar to those defined in the current Linked Data Patch Format draft: http://www.w3.org/TR/2014/WD-ldpatch-20140918/ Thanks, David
