title: Apache Jena: What is a RDF Dataset?
body: <p>I am new to Semantic Web and I have a very basic question about
  the JENA RDF Dataset. I read it from the documentation that a dataset is
  a collection of graphs (or Models in the Java API). If I view the graph
  (the model) as a RDF Alternative to Relational DB's 'Table', can I view
  the dataset as a 'Database' ?</p>
  
  <p>If so, then with TDB I should be able to create multiple
  datasets. However in the documentation it says 'Every dataset is
  obtained via TDBFactory.createDataset(Location) within a JVM is the same
  dataset.' (<a href="http://jena.apache.org/documentation/tdb/datasets.html" rel="nofollow">http://jena.apache.org/documentation/tdb/datasets.html</a>).  I
  also recall that the documentation said somewhere that the TDB does not
  support multiple JVM now. Does that mean with TDB I can create ONLY ONE
  dataset?</p>
