The base of Semantic Web specifications is Resource Description Framework (RDF) as a standard for expressing metadata. RDF has a simple object model, allowing for easy design of knowledge bases.

Abstract

The base of Semantic Web specifications is Resource Description Framework (RDF) as a standard for expressing metadata. RDF has a simple object model, allowing for easy design of knowledge bases. This implies that the size of knowledge bases can dramatically increase; therefore, it is necessary to take into account both scalability and space consumption when storing such bases. Some theoretical results related to blank node semantics can be exploited in order to design techniques that optimize, among others, space requirements in storing RDF descriptions. We present an algorithm, called REDD, that exploits these theoretical results and optimizes the space used by a RDF description.
