Abstract
RDF and RDF Schema are two W3C standards aimed at enriching
the Web with machine-processable semantic data. We have developed
Sesame, an architecture for e cient storage and expressive querying
of large quantities of metadata in RDF and RDF Schema. Sesame's
design and implementation are independent from any speci c storage
device. Thus, Sesame can be deployed on top of a variety of storage
devices, such as relational databases, triple stores, or object-oriented
databases, without having to change the query engine or other functional
modules. Sesame o ers support for concurrency control, independent
export of RDF and RDFS information and a query engine for RQL,
a query language for RDF that o ers native support for RDF Schema
semantics. We present an overview of Sesame as a generic architecture,
as well as its implementation and our rst experiences with this implementation.
