DescriptionAn embedded key-value store for Go.All data is stored inside objects which are linked by so-called link attributes. Objects consist of classes which can be extended and de-extended at runtime. Graphs can be defined with a struct.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.Edge Time Series DBMS with Real-Time Stream ProcessingEnterprise Knowledge Graph platform and graph DBMS with high availability, high performance reasoning, and virtualization
