A Distributed Graph Engine for Web Scale RDF Data

Summary: Trinity.RDF, a distributed, in-memory graph engine for web-scale RDF data, stores RDF natively as graphs rather than as triples or bitmap matrices. Delivers orders-of-magnitude SPARQL speedups over state-of-the-art systems and supports general graph operations (random walks, reachability, community discovery) on RDF graphs, validated on real web-scale data.
