Storing and querying fuzzy RDF(S) in HBase databases

摘要

The Resource Description Framework (RDF) and RDF Schema (RDFS) recommended by World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) have been used for meta-data management on the Web. With the rapid development of Web-based applications, the growth of RDF(S) data is increasing dramatically. In the context of open Web, uncertainty naturally arises in RDF and RDFS (RDF(S) in short). To manage large-scale fuzzy RDF(S) data efficiently and effectively, we propose, in this paper, a fuzzy RDF(S) storage schema with fuzzy HBase databases (FHDBs). On the basis, we investigate how to query in FHDBs. We propose a set of query algorithms. We implement a prototype system to demonstrate the feasibility of our approach.
