Checking the compliance of geospatial triplestores with the GeoSPARQL standard represents a crucial step for many users when selecting the appropriate storage solution. This publication presents the software which comprises the GeoSPARQL compliance benchmark — a benchmark which checks RDF triplestores for compliance with the requirements of the GeoSPARQL standard. Users can execute this benchmark within the HOBBIT benchmarking platform to quantify the extent to which the GeoSPARQL standard is implemented within the triplestore of interest. This enables users to make an informed decision when choosing an RDF storage solution and helps assess the general state of adoption of geospatial technologies on the Semantic Web.

The Mighty Storage Challenge (MOCHA) aims to test the performance of solutions for SPARQL processing, in several aspects relevant for modern Linked Data applications. Virtuoso, by OpenLink Software, is a modern enterprise-grade solution for data access, integration, and relational database management, which provides a scalable RDF Quad Store. In this paper, we present a short overview of Virtuoso with a focus on RDF triple storage and SPARQL query execution. Furthermore, we showcase the final results of the MOCHA 2017 challenge and its tasks, along with a comparison between the performance of our system and the other participating systems.

Following the success of Virtuoso at last year’s Mighty Storage Challenge - MOCHA 2017, we decided to participate once again and test the latest Virtuoso version against the new tasks which comprise the MOCHA 2018 challenge. The aim of the challenge is to test the performance of solutions for SPARQL processing in aspects relevant for modern applications: ingesting data, answering queries on large datasets and serving as backend for applications driven by Linked Data. The challenge tests the systems against data derived from real applications and with realistic loads, with an emphasis on dealing with changing data in the form of streams or updates. Virtuoso, by OpenLink Software, is a modern enterprise-grade solution for data access, integration, and relational database management, which provides a scalable RDF Quad Store. In this paper, we present the final challenge results from MOCHA 2018 for Virtuoso v8.0, compared to the other participating systems. Based on these results, Virtuoso v8.0 was declared as the overall winner of MOCHA 2018.
