“Big RDF Processing Systems”
Abstract
Recently, several systems have been introduced for exploiting emerging technologies for processing big linked data including HadoopRDF, PigSPARQL, CliqueSquare, S2RDF, SparkRDF, and S2X (SPARQL on Spark with GraphX). The aim of this lecture is to provide an overview of the state-of-the-art of the new generation of big data processing systems and their applications to linked data domains. In addition, Sherif will highlight a set of current open research challenges and discuss some promising directions for future research and development.
