Hi Lee
I think dedicated triple stores have a place, however, it is generally
found that most organizations will persist their "SQL Stores", and
indeed most of their legacy systems for years to come. Relative to the
Semantic Web - they want to apply ontologies (OWL) across all of that
- and use SPARQL - via a mediation layer - to perform distributed
joins/unions across distributed heterogeneous data sources - i.e.
leaving the legacy data in situ, and in a way that has acceptable
performance. That's what my company, Semantic Discovery Systems, is
developing - and indeed delivering an Early Access version of
already..
