Zentity Optimization RRS feed

  • Question

  • Hi,

    I am a researcher at the University of Auckland and I found zentity recently which acts as a hybrid store.

    In most of semantic stores, optimization is a major issue currently and I would like to know how Zentity is designed to overcome the optimization issues.

     

    Thanks

  • Hi,

    Thank you for your patience .

    Zentity is built upon Entity Framework 4.0 and SQL Server 2008 act as the data store platform. The search in Zentity is mostly based on the data platform, here MS SQL Server 2008. Zentity uses the underlying SQL search features (Full-Text search) on tables and columns to get the result. Zentity itself does not do any semantic analysis and transformations upon the information content in code.

     A detailed description of the SQL server 2008 search can be found at

    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc721269(v=SQL.100).aspx

    Zentity is very flexible and you can include and exclude the” information’s to be searched” with easy changes in the configuration files.

    Zentity core is designed over RDF. This allows Zentity to discover or create relationships between the resources or information.
