Storing Semantic Web Data in Database

    I am currently doing some research into the semantic web for a project that I am working on.

    One of the things that I need to find out is how to store semantic web data in a database.

    Has anyone seen this done? Or knows anywhere this has been implemented?

    It will have to use a 'structure on the fly' style database as a pre-defined structure will not work.

    Anyone got any ideas, or know any good sources of information?

    This paper might help you. Mainly, the authors are stating that a classical, relational database approach is not optimal and, instead, they use a so-called "Vertical
    Partitioning". Interesting read anyway.

    Great paper, thanks very much.

    Apart from 'Vertical Partitioning' have there been any other proposed methods?
