Name

Description

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

GeoMesa is a distributed spatio-temporal DBMS based on various systems as storage layer.

An embeddable, non-blocking, type-safe key-value store for single or multiple disks and in-memory storage

TypeDB is a strongly-typed database with a rich and logical type system and TypeQL as its query language

Primary database model

RDF store

Spatial DBMS

Key-value store

Graph DBMS
Relational DBMS

Often described as a 'hyper-relational' database, since it implements the 'Entity-Relationship Paradigm' to manage complex data structures and ontologies.
