I haven't looked deeply into this particular project but I agree with you: the hypergraph data model seems to add too much complexity for too little bang compared to a generic graph model. The Neo4j graph database:
http://neo4j.org http://neo4j.org
is based on generic property graphs. We sometimes get requests for hypergraph features, but we've found that the real-world problems are always solvable through a normal graph. Either way, it's very nice to see more open source graph databases out there!

The one bit that piqued my interest is that it claims to be a distributed database, so looking at its mechanism for such will be interesting.
