We have developed Sesame, an architecture for e cient storage and expressive querying of large quantities of metadata in RDF and RDF Schema. Sesame's design and implementation are independent from any speci c storage device. Thus, Sesame can be deployed on top of a variety of storage devices, such as relational databases, triple stores, or object-oriented databases, without having to change the query engine or other functional modules. Sesame o ers support for concurrency control, independent export of RDF and RDFS information and a query engine for RQL, a query language for RDF that o ers native support for RDF Schema semantics. We present an overview of Sesame as a generic architecture, as well as its implementation and our rst experiences with this implementation.
