Abstract
The motivation behind the development of RDF was, to borrow the words Tim Berners-Lee used for the Semantic Web, “to have a common and minimal language to enable to map large quantities of existing data onto it so that the data can be analyzed in ways never dreamed of by its creators.” To bring to reality this vision, the processing of RDF data at big scale must be viable. This challenge amounts essentially to develop the theory and practice of RDF databases.
