This document is designed as being a simple but comprehensive introductory publication for anybody trying to get into the Semantic Web: from beginners through to long time hackers.
This report surveys the state of semantic web storage for RDF / triple data using existing free software tools. It takes a practical approach by targeting the work to the needs of developers, answering frequently asked questions related to this subject. The report first reviews previous work in surveying semantic web data, schema and triple stores, then gives an overview of the major systems with their feature set and maturity and then uses that information to provide a set of FAQs with answers related to storing semantic web data.
