    Vasu,

    RDF is a W3C Recommendation and is used for representing information as a graph with nodes and links. This is particulary useful for profile data because in our experience profile data looks more like a graph as opposed to relational or hierarchical. This is the reason we chose to use RDF. For more info: http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-primer/

    the actual back-end store is SQL.

    Hi Bala,

    Can we able get some samples for defining RDF Schemas to the requirement of stroing user details like First Name, Last Name, Address 1, Address 2 etc. It would be great if you provide us with some information about the SPARQL (Query language for RDF). I could able to get some information about this in http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-sparql-query/ but when I tried to use same SELECT Query with the CSF Profile store we are getting the exception that "SELECT" keyword is not defined with CSF schema.

    I even tried to use the CONSTRUCT statement provided in the CHM file but when we tried to query with this we got lot number of records, In this regard how can we filter the queried records with a particular values that were passed.

    Regards,
