Super-Fast RDF Search Engine Developed 144
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.'"

We have a Technical Report available at http://www.deri.ie/fileadmin/documents/DERI-TR-20
From the abstract:
"We present the architecture of an end-to-end search engine that uses a graph data model to enable interactive query answering over structured and interlinked data collected from many disparate sources on the Web.
In particular, we study distributed indexing methods for graph-structured data and parallel query evaluation methods on a cluster of computers.
We evaluate the system on a dataset with 430 million statements collected from the Web, and provide scale-up experiments on 7 billion synthetically generated statements."

If you're going to steal a joke, you need to make sure to replace all references to the original. Find / Replace works great for this.

2 all: remove the ending slash '/' from the URL above, it will work then.
