Abstract

The Semantic Web movement has led to a growing popularity of RDF and its query languages. Clearly, good query performance is important in allowing information to be quickly retrieved from RDF datasets that are ever-increasing in size. We use the TripleT indexing scheme for RDF data as a framework to examine the cost of join operations for RDF. We analyze strategies for efficient join processing for a variety of query patterns. For queries that involve multiple join conditions, we introduce a model to predict the number of I/Os required to best order the join conditions. Experimental results validate the model using three real RDF datasets.
