Oracle 11g and changes in RDF support?

565414Mar 5 2007 — edited Dec 28 2007
Hello,

I wanted to ask about the nature of the changes in the RDF support for the version 11g of Oracle RDF Database. Will the changes in the RDF support be only internal or will there be changes to the interfaces as well? Is there any specific documentation on this type of particular change?

Thanks,

Hi Gokhan,

There are changes both internal (several performance improvements, and some functionality additions to existing APIs), and external. The features in 11g can be summarized as follows (they are also included in the Oracle World presentation available at: http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/semantic_technologies/index.html (second link under 'what's new')

(1) Fast bulk-load (several times faster than the 10gR2 batch load) [New API]
(2) Native OWL inferencing (for an OWL subset that includes property characteristics, class comparisons, proprety comparisons, individual comparions and class expressions) [New API]
(3) Faster query [these changes are internal only]
(4) New SQL operators for enhancing a relational query using an ontology
[New API]

Hi,

Wanted to start this thread to extend this a little further. It is very nice to see OWL support, bulk load api and other options in 11g that were not supported in 10g.

I am just curious to see what else is going be added to 11g from semantic web perspective? It will be good, may be if you can give some idea what we can expect in the next 6 months to 1 year.

[For example I like the way application express team gives the information about their statement of direction http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/apex_sod.html ]
