What is Sesame?

Sesame is an architecture for efficient storage and expressive querying of large quantities of meta-data in RDF and RDFS.
Sesame can be implemented on top of a variety of storage devices, such as relational databases, triple stores, object-oriented databases, etc, without having to change the query engine.
Sesame's query engine implements RQL, the only query language to date that offers native support for RDF Schema semantics.
