July 2009: The Semantic Web Gang discuss RDF triple stores

In July’s episode of the Semantic Web Gang we take this week’s release of the 4store RDF triple store as a starting point, and explore the ways in which core technologies such as the triple store are becoming increasingly commoditised.

   While benchmarks are important, I think they’re less critical for deployment decisions in the RDF space.

   The high level of interoperability among RDF stores also means that it’s often trivial to drop out one store and experiment with another. There’s no substitute for performance testing your own data and queries.

   I know that several people have been comparing the performance of 4store with their existing triplestores, it will be interesting to see what the results are.
