Raw SPARQL queries expose security risks, performance problems, and require too much schema knowledge. Storing queries as named, self-describing entities in RDF itself solves these issues by creating a controlled API layer that handles parameterization, access control, and logging.
- Direct SPARQL queries are dangerous: simple queries can crash systems with large datasets, prompt injection is trivial, and there's no access control—anyone with graph access sees everything.
- Most real-world graph operations (80%) fall into standard patterns like "get items from a list" or "update an item"—naming these as reusable queries eliminates the need for most people to write SPARQL at all.
- Named queries stored as RDF with metadata enable agents to self-discover available operations, support safe parameterization through text substitution (not SPARQL variables), enforce permissions locally, and log all access without redeploying code.
