Recently, there was a short discussion about different ways to approach the
reification in practice. I found quite useful a reference [1] mentioned in the
discussion.

Subject: Performance Cost of Reification
I was at the Cassandra Summit conference last week I talked to the guys from
Titan (ThinkAurelius) about their roadmap with the TitanDB property graph that
they developed prior to being acquired by DataStax. While their opinion was
clearly biased by their own work, they made a good point that if your ontology
is sufficiently complex that it requires reification in order to add properties
to a triple, it can significantly affect the performance of the triple store
(which seems somewhat obvious). I was wondering, in your experience, can you
estimate how significant that degradation might be (if it really exists), or
does it depend on too many factors to answer?
Thanks,
