Abstract

The emergence of NoSQL multi-model databases, natively supporting scalable and unified storage and querying of various data models, presents new opportunities for storing and managing RDF data. In this paper, we propose an approach to store RDF data in multi-model databases. We identify various aspects of representing the RDF data structure into a multi-model data structure and discuss their advantages and disadvantages. Furthermore, we implement and evaluate the proposed approach in a prototype using ArangoDB—a popular multi-model database.
