    MOCHA Open Challenge at a glance

The aim of this challenge is to test the performance of solutions for 
SPARQL processing in aspects that are relevant for modern applications. 
These include ingesting data, answering queries on large datasets, 
versioning data, browsing and serving as backend for applications using 
Linked Data. The MOCHA Open Challenge will test the systems against data 
derived from real applications and with realistic loads. The open 
challenge comprises the following tasks:

  *

    Task 1 (Data Ingestion) will measure how well systems can ingest
    streams of RDF data.

  *

    Task 2 (Data Storage) will measure how well data stores perform for
    different types of queries.

  *

    Task 3 (Versioning) will measure how well versioning and archiving
    systems for Linked Data manage evolving datasets and queries
    evaluated across the multiple versions of said datasets.

  *

    Task 4 (Browsing) will check if existing solutions perform
    adequately for applications that address browsing through large data
    sets.


Small test data and documentation are available now for all the MOCHA 
tasks:
