Description

A RDF storage and query DBMS, shipped as an optional-use component of the Apache Jena framework

Enterprise-class SQL-on-Hadoop solution, powered by Apache Trafodion

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

Cloud or off-cloud analytical database and query engine for structured and semi-structured streaming and batch data. Machine learning platform with built-in algorithms, data preparation capabilities, and model evaluation and management via SQL or Python.

WakandaDB is embedded in a server that provides a REST API and a server-side javascript engine to access data
