Franz, a sponsor of next week’s NoSQL Now! Conference in San Jose, recently broke records with its NoSQL solution, AllegroGraph. According to the article, AllegroGraph “has achieved its goal of being the first to load and query a NoSQL database with a trillion RDF statements. RDF (also known as triples or quads), the cornerstone of the Semantic Web, provides a more flexible way to represent data than relational database and is at the heart of the W3C push for the Semantic Web.”
It continues, “A trillion RDF Statements eclipses the current state of the art for the Semantic Web data management but is a primary interest for companies like Amdocs that use triples to represent real-time knowledge about telecom customers. Per-customer, Amdocs uses about 4,000 triples, so a large telecom like China Mobile would easily need 2 trillion triples to have detailed knowledge about each single customer.”
Dr. Jans Aasman, CEO of Franz will deliver two presentations at NoSQL Now!, When Relational Technology Can’t do the Job and MongoGraph – MongoDB Meets the Semantic Web.
