VIVO strives to evolve in-pace with the dependencies and technologies on which it is built. Recognizing the technical trajectory of the Jena triple store projects (SDB, TDB, TDB2), as well as a general community interest in the opportunity to use any, institution-appropriate triple store (Jena-based or otherwise), a recent “special topics” meeting was held to discuss the current state of the Jena triple stores with the goal of coming to a recommendation for VIVO’s default triple store installation.

This call resulted in a feature table comparing Jena’s TDB and SDB, and a rich conversation with the Apache Jena project chair, Andy Seaborne, regarding Jena’s usage profiles and technical direction.
Based on the special topic and subsequent discussions, we would like to put forward the following proposal :
As a VIVO community, our first priority is to ensure that any technical choices for the application allow current VIVO installations to move forward with on-going VIVO software releases. That being the case, your input on the above proposal is vital.
