| | 3 | Many approaches for RDF stores exist, most of them using |
| | 4 | very straight-forward techniques to store triples in or |
| | 5 | mapping RDF Schema classes to database tables. RDFBroker |
| | 6 | is an RDF store that uses a natural mapping of |
| | 7 | RDF resources to database tables that does not rely |
| | 8 | on RDF Schema, but constructs a schema based on the |
| | 9 | occurring signatures, where a signature is the set of |
| | 10 | properties used on a resource. This technique |
| | 11 | can therefore be used for arbitrary RDF data (i.e., RDF |
| | 12 | Schema or any other schema/ontology language on top of RDF |
| | 13 | is not required). Our approach can be used for both |
| | 14 | in-memory and normal (on-disk) |
| | 15 | relational database-based RDF store implementations, |
| | 16 | and also distributed RDF stores (with distributed query |
| | 17 | handling) benefit from it. |
