Important clarification: I meant to say: wide rows with many columns re.
"?p" in SPARQL patterns. A very important distinction re. context above. (02)
I could have also added the following to the list of challenges above: (03)
1. Ordering query (SQL or SPARQL) results by Entity Rank (combining
link coefficients and full text scores)
2. Transitivity and graph traversal oriented path expressions
3. Backward chained inference applied to queries incorporating the items
above. (04)

Breaking up the wide rows with many columns (from self joins). This is
critical for any SPARQL engine implemented using a hybrid model. (06)
Anyway, the white paper delves into these matters and includes TPC-H
benchmark results. (07)
