Name

Description

High performance, persistent RDF store with additional support for Graph DBMS

Geode is a distributed data container, pooling memory, CPU, network resources, and optionally local disk across multiple processes

Microsoft Access combines a backend RDBMS (JET / ACE Engine) with a GUI frontend for data manipulation and queries.

The Access frontend is often used for accessing other datasources (DBMS, Excel, etc.)

A distributed, RESTful search and analytics engine forked from Elasticsearch and based on Apache Lucene
