Semantic technologies

Blazegraph1 is a high performance scale-out triple-store for big data which can support up to ~12.7B triples in a single machine (see previous post). Even though it is presented as an ultra high-performance graph database and designed to scale-out, the scale-out feature has not been that much supported as developers would wish.

Semantic technologies are really interesting from a Big Data prespective. Yet, these technologies together with semantic web resources enhance Knowledge Graphs by providing reacher means for representing and defining facts, concepts, properties, relations and logic-rules, while facilitating knowledge graph understanding, integration and manipulation by using ontologies, standard vocabularies and linking its concepts to Linked Open Data (LOD) resources such as Wikidata, Schema.
