MaJorToM Topic Maps Store based on Redis

Dear all,

last week we added a new backend to our powerful Topic Maps engine 
MaJorToM [1]: the Redis Topic Map Store. Redis is an open source, 
advanced key-value-store supporting strings, sets, hashes and lists as 
values [2]. The code is published at the MaJorTom Google Code project [1].

The new topic map store is the perfect combination of a light-weight and 
persistent data store. It enables a parallel access without the need to 
implement own thread locking mechanism. Redis is easy to administrate 
and enables very fast read and write access. Additionally it allows 
replication to multiple servers using its built-in sharding functionality.

To make a topic map storage within a Redis database, we recreated the 
schema of the Topic Maps Data Model [3] based on the Redis 
possibilities. The Schema is documented under 
[4]<http://docs.topicmapslab.de/majortom/redis.html>. We are looking 
forward for comments on both the Redis store and the schema.
