DescriptionA widely adopted in-memory data gridA distributed Time Series DBMS with a focus on scalability, fault tolerance and operational simplicityA Graph DBMS optimized for distributed clusters infoIt was forked from the latest code base of Titan in January 2017RDF4J is a Java framework for processing RDF data, supporting both memory-based and a disk-based storage.TypeDB is a strongly-typed database with a rich and logical type system and TypeQL as its query language
Primary database modelKey-value storeTime Series DBMSGraph DBMSRDF storeGraph DBMS
Relational DBMS infoOften described as a 'hyper-relational' database, since it implements the 'Entity-Relationship Paradigm' to manage complex data structures and ontologies.
