MSR FastRDFStore Package – Data Release

The MSR FastRDFStore Package (https://github.com/Microsoft/FastRDFStore/) is designed for creating an in-memory index of RDF triples, implemented as a WCF service in C#, and consists of server & client side code. RDF triples are the standard format for storing structured knowledge graphs. Instead of relying on a complete SPARQL server engine to index and serve the data from RDF triples, our software package provides the essential functions for traversing the knowledge graph in a much more efficient way. In addition to the binary executables and the source code, the data release of the package includes the last dump of Freebase (freebase-rdf-2015-08-09-00-01.gz), as well as the processed version ready to load directly into FastRDFStore. Users who would like to use the package for Freebase do not need to compile the package and process the raw data, but instead can run the executables directly. The executables can be directly run on Windows, or on Linux using Mono (http://www.mono-project.com/). FastRDFStore was originally designed to support the creation of the "WebQuestions Semantic Parses Dataset (WebQSP)" (https://www.aka.ms/WebQSP). Details on this dataset can be found at our ACL-2016 paper: Yih, Richardson, Meek, Chang & Suh. "The Value of Semantic Parse Labeling for Knowledge Base Question Answering" (https://aclweb.org/anthology/P/P16/P16-2033.pdf).
