the main problem is the dichotomy of 2 layers of querying. the initial SPARQL/Versa/graph-pattern layer in the store. then the secondary layer in the clientside/view-coupled store. when you sort by some category, maybe you would have interesting results that arent in the local cache but are on the remote store - at this point, you might as well throw away exhibit's database class completely, and replace it with something that is designed from conception to work with multiple endpoints/providers > Its amazing to think of a query as setting the stage for further ad-hoc > faceted analysis.
