Not similar? Your version :

The basic SELECT operation goes like this:
SELECT propertynames
FROM resourceclassnames
WHERE condition
GROUP BY propertynames
HAVING condition

an example from RDQL [1] :

SELECT ?a, ?b
WHERE  (?a, <http://somewhere/pred1>, ?b)
AND    ?b <

If you believe the language (RQL or RDQL) as a whole is too complicated,
then you could define a subset. I still don't see any reason to invent a
completely new language and with it new interop problems.

Good name ;-)

Cheeers,
