Re: [OWLAPI-developer] Database Backend and Triple Store support

Hi Matthew,

Since axiom-centric OWL API in-memory model is more efficient than a 
corresponding triple based in-memory model. It is natural to think that 
an axiom-centric database backend would be better than a triple store?

Cheers,
