Anyone who needs an open-source data storage framework based on generalized hypergraphs
About HyperGraphDB
HyperGraphDB is a general purpose, open-source data storage mechanism based on a powerful knowledge management formalism known as directed hypergraphs. While a persistent memory model designed mostly for knowledge management, AI and semantic web projects, it can also be used as an embedded object-oriented database for Java projects of all sizes. Or a graph database, or a (non-SQL) relational database. HyperGraphDB is a storage framework based on generalized hypergraphs as its underlying data model. The unit of storage is a tuple made up of 0 or more other tuples. Each such tuple is called an atom. One could think of the data model as relational where higher-order, n-ary relationships are allowed or as graph-oriented where edges can point to an arbitrary set of nodes and other edges. Each atom has an arbitrary, strongly-typed value associated with it. The type system managing those values is embedded as a hypergraph and customizable from the ground up.

Grakn
Building intelligent systems starts at the database. Grakn is an intelligent database - a knowledge graph. An insanely intuitive & expressive data schema, with constructs to define hierarchies, hyper-entities, hyper-relations and rules, to build rich knowledge models. An intelligent language that performs logical inference of data types, relationships, attributes and complex patterns, during runtime, and over distributed & persisted data. Out-of-the-box distributed analytics (Pregel and MapReduce) algorithms, accessible through the language through simple queries. Strong abstraction over low-level patterns, enabling simpler expressions of complex constructs, while the system figures out the most optimal query execution. Scale your enterprise Knowledge Graph with Grakn KGMS and Workbase. A distributed database designed to scale over a network of computers through partitioning and replication.

TIBCO Graph Database
To unveil the true value of constantly evolving business data, you need to understand the relationships in data in a much more profound way. Unlike other databases, a graph database puts relationships at the forefront, using Graph theory and Linear Algebra to traverse and show how complex data webs, data sources, and data points relate. TIBCO® Graph Database allows you to discover, store, and convert complex dynamic data into meaningful insights. Enable users to rapidly build data and computational models that establish dynamic relationships among organizational silos. These knowledge graphs deliver value by connecting your organization’s vast array of data and revealing relationships that let you accelerate optimization of assets and processes. Combined OLTP and OLAP features in a single enterprise-grade database. Optimistic ACID level transaction properties with native storage and access.

Apache TinkerPop
Apache TinkerPop™ is a graph computing framework for both graph databases (OLTP) and graph analytic systems (OLAP). Gremlin is the graph traversal language of Apache TinkerPop. Gremlin is a functional, data-flow language that enables users to succinctly express complex traversals on (or queries of) their application's property graph. Every Gremlin traversal is composed of a sequence of (potentially nested) steps. A graph is a structure composed of vertices and edges. Both vertices and edges can have an arbitrary number of key/value pairs called properties. Vertices denote discrete objects such as a person, a place, or an event. Edges denote relationships between vertices. For instance, a person may know another person, have been involved in an event, and/or have recently been at a particular place. If a user's domain is composed of a heterogeneous set of objects (vertices) that can be related to one another in a multitude of ways (edges).

Graph Engine
Graph Engine (GE) is a distributed in-memory data processing engine, underpinned by a strongly-typed RAM store and a general distributed computation engine. The distributed RAM store provides a globally addressable high-performance key-value store over a cluster of machines. Through the RAM store, GE enables the fast random data access power over a large distributed data set. The capability of fast data exploration and distributed parallel computing makes GE a natural large graph processing platform. GE supports both low-latency online query processing and high-throughput offline analytics on billion-node large graphs. Schema does matter when we need to process data efficiently. Strongly-typed data modeling is crucial for compact data storage, fast data access, and clear data semantics. GE is good at managing billions of run-time objects of varied sizes. One byte counts as the number of objects goes large. GE provides fast memory allocation and reallocation with high memory ratios.
