I was wondering how to improve the loading time of RDF files in semantic web frameworks. And then came a question: is RDF efficient to load? The obvious answer is no. Making it readable for humans makes it definitely slower to load in programs. So I came to another question: Is there a computer-optimized format for RDF? Something that would make it load much faster. For example by replacing URIs' string by integers, plus a lookup table for correspondance. A nice side effect would be that big RDF would be more compact to publish Are there any studies about improving the format from a parsing/loading/zipping perspective?
