Virtuoso Open Source 7.2.7 Release Notes

Virtuoso Open Source 7.2.7 Release Notes

Highlight

The Virtuoso engine has been enhanced to use 64-bit prefix IDs in RDF_IRI thereby enabling it host very large databases such as Uniprot that exposes a Knowledge Graph comprising 90 billion+ triples behind a live SPARQL Query Services endpoint.

New databases automatically make use of this important enhancement, while existing databases will need to be upgraded.

Please read our instructions to upgrading a 7.2.x database to 7.2.7.
