Super-Fast RDF Search Engine Developed

The Register is reporting that Irish researchers have developed a new high-speed RDF search engine capable of answering search queries with more than seven billion RDF statements in mere fractions of a second. "'The importance of this breakthrough cannot be overestimated,' said Professor Stefan Decker, director of DERI. 'These results enable us to create web search engines that really deliver answers instead of links. The technology also allows us to combine information from the web, for example the engine can list all partnerships of a company even if there is no single web page that lists all of them.'"

Search solved. World hunger next.

Having solved the problem of search, and providing a breakthrough product that has consciousness to what was previously mere series of tubes, now the National University of Ireland announced that it is going to solve world hunger next, may be in three months. Other projects in the pipeline includes cure for cancer and solving full Navier Stokes equation.

RDF?

I didn't realize Steve Jobs' Reality Distortion Field was able to be harnessed and bottled in a search engine, or any software for that matter. His abilities are boundless!

Secure all animals in the zoo... Dark Helmet: [Takes the intercom from Sandurz] Gimme that, you petty excuse for an officer! [speaks into the intercom as Sandurz puts on his seat belt] Dark Helmet: Now hear this, Ludicrous speed... Colonel Sandurz: [Interrupts] Sir, you better buckle up.

I tried to access that site, and I got a good look at their DERI Error.

RDF could do very useful things, like throwing up a disambiguation question at the top os the results page when you've not made it clear what you want

It looks like you're trying to search for tentacle porn. Would you like help?

No thanks, I don't need Clippy in my search engine.

Some people can overestimate the importance ;-)
