Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Description

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

A distributed in-memory data processing engine, underpinned by a strongly-typed RAM store and a general distributed computation engine

Distributed Time Series DBMS based on Cassandra or H2

DBMS for structured and unstructured content wrapped with an application server

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

Primary database model

RDF store

Graph DBMS
Key-value store

Time Series DBMS

Native XML DBMS
Search engine

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.
