Hi Folks, we are looking forward to make an OWL ontology database as a mirror of a relational database for an upcoming social network semantic website is it a good decision to make?
actually we can go for three options: 1 complete owl\graph database, no relational db 2 owl mirror of relational db 3 only relational how can owL Ontology database be efficient than a relational one considering that we will need to query a lot of external databases like dbpedia,freebase etc? for the second option, ontological databases requires us to make a query against hundreds of different schemata and classes properties which seems to be a costly affair. And is it a wise decision to go for a complete ontological database for a social networking website ? The project is involves sharing of lot of small chunks of information across an array of distributed users building a personalized model of the user. ontotext, http://www.systap.com,http://www.opencalais.com/ provides a solution for semantic repositories , whereas neo4j is a graph database its really difficult to determine which is the best option and how to make the website ready for the semantic web. -- Aliabbas Petiwala M.Tech CSE -- Aliabbas Petiwala M.Tech CSE _______________________________________________ Neo4j mailing list [email protected] https://lists.neo4j.org/mailman/listinfo/user
