RDF DATA WAREHOUSE VIA PARTITIONING AND REPLICATION

摘要

Hardware and/or software suitable for RDF data warehousing, a type of data integration wherein integrated information is represented as RDF and loaded into a centralized RDF database, is presented. Pieces of hardware/software suitably support desired performance and flexibility by transforming one or more RDF documents to a binary format where RDF resources are replaced by identifiers, indexing each integrated data source into a separate RDF database and finally merging data to a warehouse through merging steps. The RDF data warehousing is a special type of data integration approach that allows query optimization.

1. A system of hardware for implementing an RDF warehouse, comprising:
an RDF staging hardware which structure is communicable with an RDF conversion hardware and which structure has a capacity to convert a data source to an RDF document; an RDF integration hardware which structure is communicable with an identifier conversion hardware and which structure has a capacity to convert RDF syntax of the RDF document into RDF binary data using an RDF binary representation and an RDF dictionary; and an RDF warehouse database for storing merged RDF binary data.
