[Z3-zemantic] FYI: An article about Kowari, a Java triplestore

[Paul Everitt]

 From last year:

   http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2004/06/23/kowari.html

It says:

"""
Tucana has tested the 32-bit version of Kowari with 10 million 
statements, and the 64-bit with 50 million; TKS has been scaled up to 
250 million statements  and can conceivably manage a billion triples.
"""

How does it do this?

"""
Kowari is written in Java 1.4.2 and uses that version's New I/O (NIO). 
This provides for an decrease in access times, as Kowari is able to 
bypass the need for a storage layer (such as BerkeleyDB or MySQL), and 
write data blocks directly to disk.
"""

Sounds like Data.fs :^)
