 Since the sesame2 repository api provides less usability than Leo wishes to provide for developers, I would suggest to stick to the RDFMap idea and provide about 10-20 methods there that "do the trick". In the methods I would mix resource-based and model based methods, for ease of implementation. Although it would be fine to have a real "abstract" layer, I still hesitate to use rdf2go, because it is java 1.5 and not adapted to sesame2 yet. Will ask Max though, if he can do these two things.
+* __done__, see http://rdf2go.ontoware.org (updates in a few hours) and use public CVS, module "java14" (now!). Max.
 
 Comment by Jeen: although there is always a careful balance to be struck here between ease of use and performance, I can understand the need to provide a 'simple' API that offers the set of most common operations on RDF to the user. I would however always allow a back door to be built in, and to keep in mind that you may need to extend this interface later: the Sesame API is not as large as it is because we happen to like it that way, these methods serve real purposes and offer various ways around performance issues, complex querying questions, dealing with various RDF serializations, etc. Making your wrapper too simple will inevitably result in bumping into such issues all over again. Implementing such a wrapper (once the set of methods it should offer has been determined) is a minor task, it shouldn't take longer than a few days. 
+* Max: backdoor included: ask an rdf2go-Model for getUnderlyingImplementation and you get back your Repository.
