DLUBM: A Benchmark for Distributed Linked Data Knowledge Base Systems

摘要

Linked Data is becoming a stable technology alternative and is no longer only an innovation trend. More and more companies are looking into adapting Linked Data as part of the new data economy. Driven by the growing availability of data sources, solutions are constantly being newly developed or improved in order to support the necessity for data exchange both in web and enterprise settings. Unfortunately, currently the choice whether to use Linked Data is more an educated guess than a fact-based decision. Therefore, the provisioning of open benchmarking tools and reports, which allow developers to assess the fitness of existing solutions, is key for pushing the development of better Linked Data-based approaches and solutions. To this end we introduce a novel Linked Data benchmark - Distributed LUBM, which enables the reproducible creation and deployment of distributed interlinked LUBM datasets. We provide a system architecture for distributed Linked Data benchmark environments, accompanied by guiding design requirements. We instantiate the architecture with the actual DLUBM implementation and evaluate a Linked Data query engine via DLUBM.
