Trillion Triples! - AllegroGraph Sets New Record
Following closely on our June announcement at the SemTech conference of 310 Billion triples, we are proud to announce that we have achieved the industry's first load and query of 1 trillion RDF triples. We believe this is a major milestone for scalability of Semantic Web Projects.
Total load was 1,009,690,381,946 triples in just over 338 hours for an average rate of 829,556 triples per second.

2011 NoSQL Now - August 23-25, San Jose, CA
NoSQL Now! is a new conference covering the dynamic
field of NoSQL technologies (Not Only SQL). It is a vendor-neutral
forum celebrating the diversity of NoSQL technologies and helping
businesses develop objective evaluation processes to match the right
NoSQL solutions with the right business challenge.

AllegroGraph 4.3 - Now Available
New features include:
-
Triple-level security: you can now block triples with specified values
as the subject, predicate, object, or graph from being seen or
modified by individual users or all users with a specified role.
-
Remote API works on many more machines: in earlier relases, you had to
run the remote API on a 64-bit Linux machine or a simulator of
one. Now Windows machines and Macs may be used, as well as 32-bit
Linux machines.
-
Stored procedures: Database code that runs on the server side, is
generally invoked by a remote client, is precompiled, generally runs
faster than the same set of code issued by the client and almost
always leads to less network traffic between the client and server.
-
Full text indexing supports Japanese text.

Gruff v 3.1 - Add, Delete, Reification updates
Gruff, the graphical interface to AllegroGraph adds new functionality
with this 3.1 release.
-
Store-editing in the graph view. Triples can now be created,
reversed, and deleted in the graph view, as well as in the table
view.
-
Reification support in the graph view. The graph view now displays
reification intuitively by drawing a link line from a reifying
subject node directly to the middle of the link line for the triple
that it reifies.
-
New CSV query output format options. There are two new options for
the format of CSV query output, namely "Query Options | CSV File
Include Full URIs" and "Query Options | CSV File Include Column
Headers".
-
Connect a Windows or Mac Gruff to your Hosted - AllegroGraph on EC2

Intel - Big Memory, Big Data, and the Semantic Web
"Techniques like MapReduce and NoSQL products based on them are fine
for some problems," said Mitch Shults, Mission-Critical Segment
Strategist, Intel Data Center Group. "To achieve high performance
against meaningful amounts of triplestore data, however, you just
can't afford to be traipsing all over the network to pull things
together. This result demonstrates the incredible value that
affordable large-scale, big-memory server platforms built around the
Intel Xeon E7 server platform can deliver for next-generation
workloads like triple stores."

Amdocs - "Semantics - the B2C Game Changer" (Video)
Bill Guinn, CTO Product Enablers, Amdocs Product Business Unit,
delivered a keynote at the 2011 Semantic Technology Conference in San
Francisco. His talk was one of the highlights for anyone interested in
how Semantic Technology can be used in enterprise systems.
"I truly believe that semantics can be a game changer in just about
any B2C model." - Bill Guinn, Amdocs
