Trilby

Trilby is an easy way to publish dynamic linked data. Just copy Trilby to your webserver and point your web browser to it. Fill in a short form naming your dataset and uploading your RDF file, and it's done!

Small

Trilby aims to make it very easy to dynamically publish smaller datasets. Instead of SPARQL or a database server for storing the data, Trilby's backend, Raffles, uses a file-based storage system. This makes Trilby very simple to setup, and lets it query over small amounts of data quickly and efficiently. However it is not an appropriate choice for medium-to-large datasets.

How Small?

So far I have tried with RDF data files of up to about 30MB, and while queries are still reasonably fast, it does take several minutes to upload the file to Trilby.
