Inferray: fast in-memory RDF inference

Summary: Inferray enables fast in-memory RDF inference via vertical-partitioned storage supporting sequential access and efficient sort-merge inference for RDFS, rhodf, and RDFS-Plus. Ad-hoc 64-bit pair sorting (MSD radix, counting sort) and a dedicated temporary store accelerate graph closure, delivering orders-of-magnitude improvements on transitivity closure.
