Abstract

The Ingenta MetaStore is a case study in using Jena API to implement a triplestore on a very large scale, within a commercial environment. This paper consists of two sections: one describes the MetaStore project itself, the other focuses on experiences with Jena. The first section explains what commercial and technical problems the project was designed to solve, and why developers chose to use an RDF triplestore to solve them. The focus is on system architecture and data modelling. The second section explains why developers chose Jena for the project, and then discusses some problems encountered while using Jena. In general, a Jena/PostgreSQL triplestore scaled up to our 200 million triple requirement. Quantitative results indicate that, given certain optimisations, the Jena implementation of SPARQL3 does scale.
