Name

Description

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.

FileMaker is a cross-platform RDBMS that includes a GUI frontend.

An open source immutable (append-only) database with cryptographic verification which makes it tamper-resistant and fully auditable.

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