Abstract

The growth of RDF data makes it imperative that an efficient mechanism for bulk-loading RDF graphs be supported. Thus, the paper proposes a bulk-load scheme that allows fast loading of arbitrarily large RDF graphs into a database. Specifically, three modes of load are supported: i) loading into an empty RDF graph, ii) appending to a non-empty RDF graph, and iii) concurrent loads into multiple graphs. The bulk-load scheme is implemented as part of Oracle database semantic technologies and the performance experiments conducted with a variety of RDF graphs (from UniProt and synthesized data of Lehigh University Benchmark) demonstrate the scalability of the approach. The paper outlines the challenges involved in bulk- loading of large RDF graphs, describes the bulk-load scheme, discusses its implementation, and presents a performance study.
