A Survey on RDF Data Store Based on NoSQL Systems for the Semantic Web Applications

Today the Resource Description Framework (RDF) that allows computers to understand and exploit Web data becomes very much in a progressive way, as well as the amount of web data that becomes very large. The storage and efficient management of this large RDF data is a real challenge in front of the classic RDF databases called triplestore. Recently, several researches focus on storing RDF data in triplestores based on NoSQL data management systems like HBase, Cassandra, Accumulo, and Couchbase. The majority of these researches are based on HBase. This NoSQL technology that is intended to handle this phenomenon of data explosion called Big Data, provided benefits like scalability and high availability compared to traditional triplestores. In this paper, we review existing works and systems that use NoSQL databases to store massive RDF data.
