DescriptionA hosted search engine service by Amazon with the data stored in Amazons cloudHigh-performance graph database supporting Semantic Web (RDF/SPARQL) and Graph Database (tinkerpop3, blueprints, vertex-centric) APIs with scale-out and High Availability.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.Enterprise-class SQL-on-Hadoop solution, powered by Apache TrafodionA lightweight, in-memory graph engine that serves as a reference implementation of the TinkerPop3 API
