Building an Efficient RDF Store Over a Relational Database

Summary: Presents an RDF store on a relational backend by shredding RDF into relational structures, leveraging mature RDBMS features. Novel shredding and query translation cope with sparsity and schema variability, delivering solid benchmarks and enabling RDF support in DB2 v.10.1. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
