Repository

Component description

The MKSearch repository component is responsible for storing RDF statements about documents that have been processed by the indexer. The repository is largely composed of a Sesame repository; the alpha version is a simple file-based RDF/XML store. MKSearch includes utilities and interfaces to Sesame API components that integrate it with the query and indexer components.

Development plans

Database storage

The key development requirement for the repository is to adapt it to use a standard relational database for persistent storage, incremental update, scale and integrity. The two target systems that will be supported are PostgreSQL and MySQL, which are both supported directly by Sesame.
