x-RDF-3X: Fast Querying, High Update Rates, and Consistency for RDF Databases

Summary: Extended deferred indexing with integrated versioning enables high-rate online RDF updates in x-RDF-3X. Version store enables time-travel queries and flexible isolation (snapshot/serializable) for multi-user workloads, maintaining fast querying. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
