Summary

The Semantic Web is the next generation Web of data, which extends the current Web with means to provide well-defined meaning of information and easily find, integrate and analyze relevant information from different sources. Semantic Databases, or triplestores, play a very important role in the realization of the Semantic Web vision, since they provide the means to integrate, store and query the vast amounts of metadata generated on the Semantic Web every day. This paper presents a brief overview of the Semantic Web goals and related standards, with a special focus on the advantages, design and performance factors for triplestores. Finally, the paper provides an overview of Business Intelligence related scenarios where Semantic Technologies and triplestores in particular provide valuable advantage and differentiation.
