I think information should be stored as triples only when absolutely necessary. That is when the structure of the information is not exactly known in advance or changes often. If I know my data I use a relational database - proven and improved in decades of usage. SQL is much more powerful than SPARQL and an RDBMS does not make random disk access for every single piece of information like a triple store. In a traditional database, there is less useless data and data redundancy. I can profit from indices for much more than an exact match: Full text search, strings starting with ..., search regardless of language, etc. Regards, Michael Brunnbauer -- ++ Michael Brunnbauer ++ netEstate GmbH ++ Geisenhausener Straße 11a ++ 81379 München ++ Tel +49 89 32 19 77 80 ++ Fax +49 89 32 19 77 89 ++ E-Mail brunni@netestate.de ++ http://www.netestate.de/ ++ ++ Sitz: München, HRB Nr.142452 (Handelsregister B München) ++ USt-IdNr.
