Workload Matters: Why RDF Databases Need a New Design
Summary: Workload-aware, adaptive RDF DB design to handle diverse SPARQL workloads. Re-evaluates RDF physical design criteria and tackles new challenges from dynamic workloads, arguing that existing systems are workload-oblivious and fail to deliver consistent performance.
