A method and system are disclosed for indexing a set of statements, such as RDF statements, that are described in accordance with a specified ontology. The method comprises the steps of defining a set of indexing rules, and using these indexing rules to examine the statements to identify selected ones of the statements and to generate one or more indices from said selected ones of the statements. In a preferred embodiment, the rules match certain predicates of RDF statements to certain indices. Also, preferably, an RDF storage system may be configured with said set of indexing rules. When RDF statements are added to the RDF storage system, each statement is examined by the indexing subsystem. If the predicate of a statement matches one of the predicates of said set of indexing rules, that rule is applied to the statement.
