List of subject-predicate-object databases

Main article: Triplestore

Some subject-predicate-object databases (also known as triplestores) have been built as database engines from scratch, while others have been built on top of existing commercial relational database engines (e.g., SQL-based).[1] Like the early development of online analytical processing (OLAP) databases, this intermediate approach allowed large and powerful database engines to be constructed for little programming effort in the initial phases of triplestore development. Long-term though it seems likely that native triplestores will have the advantage for performance. A difficulty with implementing triplestores over SQL is that although triples may thus be stored, implementing efficient querying of a graph-based RDF model (e.g., mapping from SPARQL) onto SQL queries is difficult.[2]
