    Virtuoso Open Source Edition News

    2022 News Announcements

    2022-05-18 Virtuoso 7.2.7 Released, Open-Source Edition

    The Virtuoso engine has been enhanced to use 64-bit prefix IDs in RDF_IRI which allows for very large databases such as Uniprot, which currently contains over 90 billion triples, to be hosted using the Virtuoso Open Source engine.

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