Hi Michel,

Thx for your info. So LDP is really meta-level only (hence the explicit 
container stuff) complementing Sparql.

LDP comes to provide another interaction model, not at a triple/quad level as SPARQL does, but at the resource one. So you can say LDP complements SPARQL, yes.

Guess I wrongly thought the functionality would be more like pubby 
(http://wifo5-03.informatik.uni-mannheim.de/pubby/) making rdf resources directly 
accessible by HTTP in the browser. In Pubby the functionality is more like "on top 
of Sparql".

Pubby just offers read-only raw Linked Data over SPARQL endpoint. Marmotta (from the LMF times) already offered raw Linked Data support, including Read-Write Linked Data based on the Linked Media Principles:

  http://code.google.com/p/lmf/wiki/PrinciplesLinkedMedia

LDP is just a natural evolution and standardization of those principles.

Do you know  of any w3c work in this direction? (http access to dereferenced 
resource content)?

That's basically Linked Data as TimBL defined it:

  http://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/LinkedData.html

As I said in my previous email, LDP basically provides clarifications and extensions of the rules of Linked Data.

Would this be actually be more like the LDPath functionality offered?

LDPath would be closer to SPARQL than to LDP> LDPath is a resource-centered part language for Linked Data. Further details at:

Hope that helps to understand the different natures and goals of each technology in this stack.

Cheers,
