LDBC is proud to announce the new LDBC Graphalytics Benchmark draft specification. LDBC Graphalytics is the first industry-grade graph data management benchmark.

Synopsis: Now is the time to finalize the interactive part of the Social Network Benchmark (SNB). The benchmark must be both credible in a real social network setting and pose new challenges. There are many hard queries but not enough representation for what online systems in fact do. So, the workload mix must strike a balance between the practice and presenting new challenges.

Following the 1st International workshop on Benchmarking RDF Systems (BeRSys 2013) the aim of the BeRSys 2014 workshop is to provide a discussion forum where researchers and industrials can meet to discuss topics related to the performance of RDF systems. BeRSys 2014 is the only workshop dedicated to benchmarking different aspects of RDF engines - in the line of TPCTC series of workshops.The focus of the workshop is to expose and initiate discussions on best practices, different application needs and scenarios related to different aspects of RDF data management.
