Hi Chris, We were currently leaning towards open-source triple stores. As far as inferencing goes, I suspect we will be doing at least transitive closures on rdfs:subClassOf and rdfs:subPropertyOf properties. I will look into TinkerPop. Are you currently using it, and for what purpose? I am also curious about what types of data model changes did you have to do to improve your rdf store's performance.

We are currently looking at open-source triple stores such as 4store, Virtuoso, Jena SDB and Mulgara. Are you currently using a triple store or contemplating on using one? How would you evaluate 'your' triple store along the lines of 1) ease of setup, 2) scalability, 3) query performance, 3) bulk load performance, 4) access api, 5) documentation and 6) community support? >>> >>> Highly appreciate your thoughts, ideas and suggestions. >>> >>> Thanks, >>> Ravi Shankar >>> >> >> >> __________________________________________________ >> Il tuo 5x1000 al Patronato di San Girolamo della Carita' e' un gesto semplice ma di grande valore. >> Una tua firma aiutera' i sacerdoti ad essere piu' vicini alle esigenze di tutti noi. >> Aiutaci a formare sacerdoti e seminaristi provenienti dai 5 continenti indicando nella dichiarazione dei redditi il codice fiscale 97023980580.
