Re: resources for network-based/hierarchical RDF store

Andy

What would be the license problem with Virtuoso?  Since the basic SQL DBMS
and triple store are available as GPL, you can deploy as many as needed.

The only thing that requires a commercial license per se is the SQL database
federation but  since you are looking for triple stores it does not seem
that this is a requirement of your use case.

Dear Orri,

thanks for the pointer. I know Virtuoso. The only problem for us is the
license. We are working on a research project and our middleware will be
used in scientific grids only. However, it seems to be a nice product.

best regards,
Andy
