A qualitative and quantitative comparison of data access libraries for Semantic Web developers

What is it about?

Semantic Web developers often use low level, statement-based, libraries to access data, which require a lot of boilerplate code. There are high level libraries which could do the required job and software development with them is more efficient. This work introduces a framework for feature-based and performance-based comparison of such libraries and applies this framework to a broad selection of such tools.

Why is it important?

This comparison could help Semantic Web developers in discovering suitable data access libraries, review their features and performance. Last but not least, the performance benchmark provides demonstrations of configuration and usage of selected libraries.
