Capabilities of the TripleStoreConnector

The Triple Store Connector lets you store and retrieve RDF data efficiently. Having enabled the triple store in SMW+, you may query the knowledge base directly within the wiki or remotely using SPARQL queries. The latter method is especially useful if other applications are meant to exploit the semantically annotated data that is in your wiki.

SPARQL, a standardized RDF query language, is more powerful than the original wiki query language as it lets you search for complex graph patterns and enhanced data filtering. One further stands to benefit from the triple store's advanced inference engine as it has the capability of deducing the knowledge which is actually only contained in your wiki implicitly.
