Property Graphs Vs Typedb

  • hostedBy user.tomas-sabat (Private)
  • "strongly-typed database", but close to Graph Database
  • modeling complex data is difficult in graph (although easy to start)
    • "complex data" means a lot of types
      • relation types
      • entity types
  • typedb is a graph engine under the hood, on top is the type system
    • property graphs: directional, binary, static
  • typedb:
    • hyper-relations allow:
      • ternary
      • no need for reification
      • nested relations ()
    • type hierarchys
      • in cypher, can't enforce labellings (which apparently is how you do types)
  • Inferencing
    • most under-rated features of typedb
    • not machine learning, based on symbolic logic/deductive logic

Questions:

  • why "locating" instead of located
  • rule describes a pattern
