Scalable Semantic Web Data Management Using Vertical Partitioning
Summary: Vertical partitioning of RDF data as a scalable alternative to property tables for Semantic Web workloads. Benchmarks on 50M+ triples show competitive performance with property tables; a column-oriented DBMS yields an order-of-magnitude speedup (minutes to seconds).
