 ## What Is gStore
 
-gStore is a graph-based RDF data management system(or what is commonly called a "triple store") that maintains the graph structure of the original [RDF](http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf11-concepts/) data. Its data model is a labeled, directed multi edge graph, where each vertex corresponds to a subject or an object.

-We represent a given [SPARQL](http://www.w3.org/TR/sparql11-overview/) query by a query graph Q. Query processing involves finding subgraph matches of Q over the RDF graph G, instead of joining tables in relational data management system. gStore incorporates an index over the RDF graph (called VS-tree) to speed up query processing. VS-tree is a height balanced tree with a number of associated pruning techniques to speed up subgraph matching.
