Simple Sloppy Semantic Database (S3DB) is a distributed infrastructure that relies on Semantic Web concepts for management of heterogeneous data. This distributed data management system was first proposed in 2006[1], following the argumentation the previous year that omics data sets would be more easily managed if fragmented in RDF tipples. [2] That first version, 1.0, was focused on the support of an indexing engine for triple store management. The second version, made available in October 2007, added cross-referencing between triples in distinct S3DB deployments to support it as a distributed infrastructure.
