This report details the work done on the benchmarking of RDF triplestores over the summer. It talks about the structure of the tests performed and the scripts produced which were used to run the tests. It is intended to be useful in both assessing the results produced and for anyone who wishes to take the work on further in the future. This work was done in conjunction with Dr Jeremy Frey and Kieron Taylor of the University of Southampton's Chemistry department. I have gone into as much detail as possible whilst trying to keep it relevant, so that the scripts I have written can be understood in context. It should be noted that this report does include the results from all of the tests performed (~12 million triples in 3store's case), although it might be better not to publish those until there are similar results for all of the stores.
