Super-Fast RDF Search Engine Developed

The Register is reporting that Irish researchers have developed a new high-speed RDF search engine capable of answering search queries with more than seven billion RDF statements in mere fractions of a second. "'The importance of this breakthrough cannot be overestimated,' said Professor Stefan Decker, director of DERI. 'These results enable us to create web search engines that really deliver answers instead of links. The technology also allows us to combine information from the web, for example the engine can list all partnerships of a company even if there is no single web page that lists all of them.'"

Top o'the mornin' laddy! We've got this crackpot idea that doesn't work in real-world scenarios, but you see, we're out of Guinness and me welfare checks be runnin' dry. How's about a nice research grant to refill me beer fridge ?

Tally-ho!
