1. Free Webinar: Querying Federated Knowledge for Web 3.0 Applications

Thursday, February 21, 2008, 10:00 - 11:00 am Pacific.

Your future knowledge store will be a collection that lives in-memory,
on your local hard disk, on your intranet and/or distributed on the
global web. It will be a collection of inter-related triple-stores
federated into an ever-changing whole. Franz has developed a flexible
architecture in AllegroGraph 3.0 (coming soon) for creating 'federated
knowledge stores' on the fly that allow for transparent RDFS++
reasoning and SPARQL queries. We will demonstrate this new
architecture with billions of triples from distributed sources
including the Census database, the dbPedia, Wordnet, Geonames and the
Enron e-mail corpus in an RDF federation.
