Optimizing real-time RDF data streams

Abstract. The Resource Description Framework (RDF) provides a common data model for the integration of emerging "real-time" streams of social and sensor data with the Web and with each other. While there exist numerous protocols and data formats for exchanging dynamic RDF data, or RDF updates, there is a need for basic analysis of these options to facilitate high-throughput, low-latency streams such as are commonplace in Web 2.0, multimedia, and gaming applications. This paper contains a brief survey of RDF update formats and a high-level discussion of both TCP and UDPbased transport protocols for updates. Its main contribution is the experimental evaluation of a UDP-based architecture which serves as a real-world example of a high-performance RDF streaming application in an Internet-scale distributed environment.
