Rya Rya (pronounced "ree-uh" /rēə/) is a cloud-based RDF triple store that supports SPARQL queries. Rya is a scalable RDF data management system built on top of Accumulo. Rya uses novel storage methods, indexing schemes, and query processing techniques that scale to billions of triples across multiple nodes. Rya provides fast and easy access to the data through SPARQL, a conventional query mechanism for RDF data.
Rya has been incubating since 2015-09-18. Three most important issues to address in the move towards graduation: 1. Become familiar with the release process and have a first release as part of the Apache Foundation 2. Expand the "how to" document to explain the ways new contributors can become involved in the project, so we increase the size of the community. 3. Add new committers to the project. Any issues that the Incubator PMC (IPMC) or ASF Board wish/need to be aware of? No How has the community developed since the last report? * We have a Rya "office hour" teleconference every other week. Users and developers can ask questions, receive answers, discuss ideas for future developments. The minutes are sent to the dev@ list. Attendance at these meetings has grown beyond existing committers of the project to include new contributors. New contributors have led the discussion for new features that they have helped develop. We have also begun posting minutes and reference slides from the meetings on confluence to provide reference documentation to new contributors. * We have more PRs from non-committers which are integrated into the repository How has the project developed since the last report? * Integrated Rya with Apache build process -- Rya is currently being built by Jenkins on Apache servers * Resolved a handful of issues that users have encountered. * Upgrades for versions for a number of dependencies * Committed features: advanced OWL forward chaining reasoning tool for Accumulo based Rya, extensions to pre-computed join capabilities for more complex SPARQL queries, additions of timestamps for Mongo backed Rya.
