Name

Description

BigchainDB is scalable blockchain database offering decentralization, immutability and native assets

In-memory key-value store, originally intended for caching

Microsoft Access combines a backend RDBMS (JET / ACE Engine) with a GUI frontend for data manipulation and queries.

The Access frontend is often used for accessing other datasources (DBMS, Excel, etc.)

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