* Package name : 4store Version : 1.0.2 Upstream Author : Steve Harris <steve.har...@garlik.com> * URL : http://4store.org/ * License : GPL Programming Lang: C Description : an efficient, scalable and stable RDF database 4store, an RDF database from Garlik, has recently been GPLed. It is a database designed to do just one task but do it well. It is primarily designed for multinode 64-bit clusers, but its author once told me it could also easily be configured to be the "SQLite of RDF", i.e. a small, no-config database with good performance with the added benefit over SQLite that it would work well for heterogenous data. It would be interesting to have a debconf script that could ask the user a simple question of whether it would be in a role as a "small database", "single node database" or a "multihost clustered database". Some packaging effort is underway, see e.g.: http://dev.squarecows.com/2009/07/17/4store-rdf-database/ >From the upstream web page: 4store's main strengths are it's performance, >scalability and stability. It does not provide many features over and above >RDF storage and SPARQL queries, but if your are looking for a scalable, >secure, fast and efficient RDF store, then 4store should be on your shortlist. 4store is primarily intended to run on Linux platforms, but it is known to work on single Mac OS X machines. It depends on the Avahi multicast DNS library. It contains a SPARQL HTTP Protocol server, and uses Redland, which is already in Debian. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.3 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable'), (90, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
