Abstract. An explosion in the use of RDF for representing information about resources has driven the requirements for Web-
scale server systems that can store and process huge quantities of data, and furthermore provide powerful data access and min-
ing functionalities. This paper describes OWLIM, a family of semantic repositories that provide storage, inference and novel
data-access features delivered in a scalable, resilient, industrial-strength platform.
