A chapter in Handbook on Ontologies, 2009, pp 489-508 from Springer

Abstract: Summary Ontologies are often used to improve data access. For this purpose, existing data has to be linked to an ontology and appropriate access mechanisms have to be provided. In this chapter, we review RDF storage and retrieval technologies as a common approach for accessing ontology-based data. We discuss different storage models, typical functionalities of RDF middleware such as data model support and reasoning capabilities and RDF query languages with a special focus on SPARQL as an emerging standard. We also discuss some trends such as support for expressive ontology and rule languages.
