"If you have this book in your hands, we guess you are interested in database management systems in general and more precisely those handling Resource Description Framework (RDF) as a data representation model. We believe it is the right time to study such systems because they are getting more and more attention in industry with communities of Web developers and information technology (IT) experts who are designing innovative applications, in universities and engineering schools with introductory and advanced courses, and in both academia and industry research to design and implement novel approaches to manage large RDF data sets. We can identify several reasons that are motivating this enthusiasm"--
RDF Database Systems is a cutting-edge guide that distills everything you need to know to effectively use or design an RDF database. This book starts with the basics of linked open data and covers the most recent research, practice, and technologies to help you leverage semantic technology. With an approach that combines technical detail with theoretical background, this book shows how to design and develop semantic web applications, data models, indexing and query processing solutions.
- Understand the Semantic Web, RDF, RDFS, SPARQL, and OWL within the context of relational database management and NoSQL systems
- Learn about the prevailing RDF triples solutions for both relational and non-relational databases, including column family, document, graph, and NoSQL
- Implement systems using RDF data with helpful guidelines and various storage solutions for RDF
- Process SPARQL queries with detailed explanations of query optimization, query plans, caching, and more
- Evaluate which approaches and systems to use when developing Semantic Web applications with a helpful description of commercial and open-source systems

Olivier Curé is an associate professor of computer science at the Université Paris-Est in France and is researching at the CNRS LIGM lab. He holds a Ph.D. in Artificial Intelligence from the Université de Paris V, France and has published three book chapters, eight journal articles and more than 50 papers in international, peer-reviewed conferences in the fields of databases, semantic web and ontologies. Professor Curé has organized workshops including Ambient Data Integration (ADI) at On the Move (OTM) conference in 2008, 2009 and 2010. He has received three cooperative research grants to work with the Database and Information System research team of Pr. Stefan Jablonski at the University of Bayreuth, Germany. In 2013, Professor Curé received a grant for a France-Stanford collaboration to conduct research with Stanfords BioMedical Informatics Research (BMIR) laboratory. Guillaume Blin is a full professor of computer science at the Université de Bordeaux in France affiliated to the LaBRI CNRS laboratory for his research. He obtained his Ph.D. in algorithmics at Université de Nantes, France. While most of his research has focused on Biological algorithmics, he has been collaborating with Olivier Curé on RDF triples storage and querying since early 2010.
