Hi, The deadline for submitting a talk for ApacheCon is today, and I decided to submit a talk for Rya. If anyone can offer any comments, please let me know. This is the first time I'm submitting to ApacheCon.
Montors, maybe you have some advice, whether we should submit to ApacheCon versus ApacheCon Big Data? I was thinking to submit to Big Data, but I'm not 100% sure that is the right choice. Thank you, Adina *Title * Apache Rya – A scalable RDF Triple store or Introducing Apache Rya *Abstract (900 chars or less)* Apache Rya (incubating) is a scalable database management system designed for storing and searching large amounts of Resource Description Framework (RDF) data. In its most basic form, RDF data is a <subject, predicate, object> triple. Due to its flexibility, RDF is the standard of choice for storing a large variety of information. With tremendous increases in data sizes available, scalable solutions needed to be devised to efficiently store and query very large RDF graphs within big data architectures. Apache Rya is an RDF triple store build on top of Apache Accumulo. In this talk, we present storage methods, indexing schemes, query optimization, and query evaluation techniques that allow Rya to scale to billions of triples across multiple nodes, while providing fast and easy access to the data through conventional query mechanisms such as SPARQL. *Describe who the audience is and what you expect them to gain from your presentation* The audience is anyone interested in RDF, cloud, and database management systems. Attendees will be introduced to RDF and SPARQL, the query language commonly used with RDF data, and they will gain an understanding of how Rya stores and indexes data, as well as how query optimization and processing is done in Rya. *Tell us how the content of your presentation will help better the Linux and open source ecosystem* The presentation will introduce a new Apache incubator project, Apache Rya. The presentation will help publicize the project, help existing and future users gain an understanding of the system, and encourage developers to get involved in the project. -- Dr. Adina Crainiceanu Associate Professor, Computer Science Department United States Naval Academy 410-293-6822 ad...@usna.edu http://www.usna.edu/Users/cs/adina/
