The semantic web provides access to an increasing number of linked datasets expressed in RDF. One feature of these datasets is that they are not constrained by a schema. Such schema could be very useful as it helps users understand the structure of the entities and can ease the exploitation of the dataset. Several works have proposed clustering-based schema discovery approaches which provide good quality schema, but their ability to process very large RDF datasets is still a challenge. In this work, we address the problem of automatic schema discovery, focusing on scalability issues. We introduce an approach, relying on a scalable density-based clustering algorithm, which provides the classes composing the schema of a large dataset. We propose a novel distribution method which splits the initial dataset into subsets, and we provide a scalable design of our algorithm to process these subsets efficiently in parallel. We present a thorough experimental evaluation showing the effectiveness of our proposal.
| selected citations These citations are derived from selected sources. This is an alternative to the "Influence" indicator, which also reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically). | 5 | |
| popularity This indicator reflects the "current" impact/attention (the "hype") of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network. | Top 10% | |
