LUBM Original Version

LUBM is a benchmark to evaluate the performance of triplestores1 with respect to extensional queries over a large data set that commits to a single realistic ontology.

It consists of a university domain ontology, customizable and repeatable synthetic data, a set of test queries, and several performance metrics. 2

Main characteristics:

  • it is very popular
  • well-know data model and ontology
  • supports reasoning
  • comes with a data generator
  • original queries supplied with LUBM are too simple

agnos.ai has extended the original version of the LUBM benchmark to cover more realistic business-like scenarios. Refer to LUBM Extended Version for more details.
