DescriptionNative multi-model DBMS for graph, document, key/value and search. All in one engine and accessible with one query language.Enterprise-ready RDF and graph database with efficient reasoning, cluster and external index synchronization support. It supports also SQL JDBC access to Knowledge Graph and GraphQL over SPARQL.A Graph DBMS optimized for distributed clusters infoIt was forked from the latest code base of Titan in January 2017In-memory key-value store, originally intended for cachingTypeDB is a strongly-typed database with a rich and logical type system and TypeQL as its query language
