Name

IRONdb seems to be discontinued. Therefore it is excluded from the DB-Engines Ranking.

Description

Multi-model database supporting relational and graph data models and built upon PostgreSQL

All data is stored inside objects which are linked by so-called link attributes. Objects consist of classes which can be extended and de-extended at runtime. Graphs can be defined with a struct.

A distributed Time Series DBMS with a focus on scalability, fault tolerance and operational simplicity

RDF4J is a Java framework for processing RDF data, supporting both memory-based and a disk-based storage.

DBMS for structured and unstructured content wrapped with an application server
