Clustered TDB: A Clustered Triple Store for Jena

This paper describes the design of Clustered TDB, a clustered triple store designed to store and query very large quantities of Resource Description Framework (RDF) data. It presents an evaluation of an initial prototype, showing that Clustered TDB offers excellent scaling characteristics with respect to load times and query throughput. Design decisions are justified in the context of a literature review on Database Management System (DBMS) and RDF store clustering, and it is shown that many techniques created during the course of DBMS research are applicable to the problem of storing RDF data
