/.: Super-Fast RDF

[J Aaron Farr <fa...@apache.org>]

I thought those on this list might be interested in this.  Sounds a
little too hyped to me, but maybe I'm wrong:

 http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/05/04/1252215

  "The Register is reporting that Irish researchers have developed a
  new high-speed RDF search engine capable of answering search queries
  with more than seven billion RDF statements in mere fractions of a
  second."

"but how does it scale?!" :)

the cross-talk between their index managers as they add nodes will  
only increase... its not /that/ much of a feat to query a bunch of  
data on a few node system... (they're just academics and publish all  
their results!)

It's very interesting research but it's still research :-). The  
previous version of their system is at

   http://sw.deri.org/2004/06/yars/

I sure hope they'll put the code for the new one up too after the  
research season is over!
