Name

Description

A highly scalable full ACID SQL database with fast NoSQL data ingestion and GIS capabilities

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.

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