Sherif Sakr, Ghazi Al‐Naymat · Advances in data mining and database management book series · 2011
The Resource Description Framework (RDF) is a flexible model for representing information about resources in the Web. With the increasing amount of RDF data which is becoming available, efficient and scalable management of RDF data has become a fundamental challenge to achieve the Semantic Web vision. The RDF model has attracted attentions in the database community and many researchers have proposed different solutions to store and query RDF data efficiently. This chapter focuses on using relational query processors to store and query RDF data. It gives an overview of the different approaches and classifies them according to their storage and query evaluation strategies.
