That's actually phenomenally useful. Thanks for the link!

Regarding SPSS, I'm still wrapping my head around R and
how it represents the data. But what I have in mind is
more or less, to use the python bindings for R in sage
to be able to work with the data, and then to make a 
package for RDFlib for sage so that it can interact with
a triplestore (layercake remote sparql store stuff). SPSS
is regular and sufficiently annotated that a direct 
translation to datacube might be workable. Also worth 
doing in a way such that the SPSS->R->python->QB part
doesn't rely on anything else in sage so that it could 
also be used standalone...

Cheers,
