An Effective Encoding Scheme for Spatial RDF Data

Summary: Proposes an encoding scheme for spatial RDF entities with on-the-fly filters and spatial joins to enable range and proximity queries. Implemented as an RDF-3X extension; optimized geometry/dictionary access and evaluated on real KBs, showing robust spatial performance with low overhead. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
