Hi Bene, One thing worth pointing out: A survey like the one I did will mostly highlight SPARQL *protocol* implementations. This doesn't say much about the actual *storage engine* behind the *protocol endpoint*. A few products integrate engine and protocol implementation into one package, e.g., Virtuoso or 4store. Others don't come with a protocol implementation at all, or use a generic off-the-shelf protocol implementation such as Joseki. For example, a Sesame endpoint could have a Sesame native store behind it, or OWLIM, or BigData. A Joseki endpoint could be Jena RDB storage, or SDB, or TDB, or D2RQ. I'm not really sure what the Talis Platform stores use behind the scenes, is it BigData? I personally have never interacted with an AllegroGraph, Mulgara, Oracle, or native BigData store, so I wouldn't know what they look like “from the outside” if only poked through the SPARQL protocol.

I think the main distinguishing factor is whether a store is packaged as a SPARQL server (including SPARQL protocol implementation), or whether it's packaged as something that can be interacted with only through programming an API. In the web-friendly LOD world, you really want to interact with your SPARQL store through the SPARQL Protocol; and numerous stores come off-the-shelf with a SPARQL Protocol endpoint. Those that don't are at a disadvantage -- you'd have to wire up your own Joseki or Sesame or write your own Protocol implementation to get a SPARQL endpoint. AllegroGraph is expensive, and its distinctive features are of little relevance for a pure “data server”. Oracle fails on lack of a SPARQL Protocol implementation -- it would really only appeal to those who already have bought Oracle. BigData is advertised as a scale-out solution. This is more than most LOD projects need; they'd happily settle for MediumData. > * And also, are there some known examples of RDF data repositories > using the mentioned RDF Databases with no apparent representation in > the LOD Cloud (Oracle, AllegroGraph, BigData, or OWLIM)? Well there certainly are repositories using these stores, but they may not have public SPARQL endpoints, and may not publish their data with dereferenceable URIs as well (which is the main criterion for linked data). Not sure about Oracle and AllegroGraph. Talis would know more about BigData stores I suppose. I'm pretty sure there are a few OWLIMs in the LOD Cloud, but they would probably show up as Sesame.
