Triplestore Testing in the Cloud with Clojure


1:30 - 1:50pm on Thursday, October 14 2010 in Apollo 8

Determining what RDF repository to use for a project can be a daunting task. With so many repository choices, benchmarks and usage scenarios, where do you start? This talk discusses how Revelytix answered that question. The talk will cover the test framework written by Revelytix in Clojure, including a language for defining tests, a harness for executing the tests and using CouchDB to store the results. Example Clojure code will be included along with a discussion around the available RDF benchmarks. The talk will also discuss the test harness using EC2 instances for cheap performance testing and how we interpreted those results using Incanter.
