Hello, thanks for contacting us. It is very good that you already have experience with RDF and SPARQL. I suggest that you start by building Amarok from git and taking a look at the collection code to get an idea of the result you'd need to achieve. What we need is a collection backend that could replace the current SQL collection (if needed) without feature regressions, but you should plan on both backends being available rather than one being a drop-in replacement of the other. Please see this article [1] for some guidelines on how to structure a GSoC proposal for Amarok. When you prepare a first draft, please submit it for review on this mailing list.
