An Efficient SQL-based RDF Querying Scheme

Summary: Introduces RDF_MATCH, a SQL table function that integrates RDF patterns with relational SQL and optional rulebases. Rewriting invocations into optimizable SQL eliminates procedural overhead and exploits B-trees/materialized views, scaling to 80M triples in Oracle. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
