Why are you comparing SQL (which is used by extensional RDBMS engines)
and SPARQL (which is used by intensional deductive DBMS engines) ? (02)
The work by Facebook and Google doesn't align directly with the Web as a
distributed DBMS as per your comparison above. (03)
Here is a simple example of a tool showing translation from SPARQL to
natural language constructs: http://sparql2nl.aksw.org/demo. (04)
I bet you will be very hard pressed to find a similar thing for SQL
that's accessible for direct usage on the Web. And if you do, I'll go
and have a play and share my findings :-) (05)
