Semantic Web databases allow efficient storage and access to RDF statements. Applications are able to use expressive query
languages in order to retrieve relevant metadata to perform different tasks. However, access to metadata may not be public
to just any application or service. Instead, powerful and flexible mechanisms for protecting sets of RDF statements are required
for many Semantic Web applications. Unfortunately, current RDF stores do not provide fine-grained protection. This paper fills
this gap and presents a mechanism by which complex and expressive policies can be specified in order to protect access to
metadata in multi-service environments.
