RE: Tools for 20 million triples?

We've managed up to 160 million triples by clustering Seamark servers across
several Linux boxes on a LAN. This was in the context of a faceted
navigation system built for a collection of about 8 million resources
described primarily in Dublin Core, providing sub-second query responses
under heavy loads. This kind of approach should scale to the gigatriple
level. - cheers, BPA
