The Semantic Publishing Benchmark (SPB), developed in the context of LDBC, aims at measuring the read and write operations that can be performed in the context of a media organisation. It simulates the management and consumption of RDF metadata describing media assets and creative works. The scenario is based around a media organisation that maintains RDF descriptions of its catalogue of creative works. These descriptions use a set of ontologies proposed by BBC that define numerous properties for content; they contain asll RDFS schema constructs and certain OWL ones.
