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.

A widely used distributed, scalable search engine based on Apache Lucene

Widely used embeddable, in-process RDBMS

A lightweight, in-memory graph engine that serves as a reference implementation of the TinkerPop3 API
