Using INMDB for the Semantic Web
Patrick Demers · 2017
Resource Description Framework (RDF) is a data model that represents information about web resources using triples.Triples represent data at the atomic level using three components: subject, predicate and object.The structure of RDF data is defined by a schema language RDFS.RDF data storage can be classified into five categories: Native, Relational, Object-Oriented, Object-Relational and Expert Systems.Of these, Native and Relational have been the dominant approaches.The problem with all current RDF storage approaches is that none adequately represent the features of RDFS with the schema of their underlying storage architecture.In this thesis, the problem is addressed using Information Network Model Database (INMDB) which attempts to better represent RDFS as database schema.To support our claim, we store the English version of the DBPedia RDF dataset in INMDB.The results show that INMDB offers a more representative way to store and query structured RDF data.
