Stylus: A Strongly-Typed Store for Serving Massive RDF Data

Summary: Stylus replaces weakly typed triple storage with a strongly typed, entity-oriented materialized join view, reducing SPARQL joins and random-access costs. Compact intermediates and graph-decomposition planning substantially accelerate massive RDF query serving. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
