KAON Engineering Server beta released!

The 1.2 Version of KAON contains the KAON Engineering Server - an ontology server that works on a relational database. This server is radically different in the design from the existing RDF server, and thus offers SIGNIFICANT performance improvements.

For example, the server has been tested with an ontology of 100000 concepts, 700000 instances and 200000 properties. Operations such as loading and changing the ontology now take only a couple of seconds.

The core of the engineering server forms an optimized database schema, and extensions of KAON API allowing bulk-loading of multiple objects in one call.

The server is still beta, because some tests are for it are still missing. An update will be published in the course of 2 weeks.
