imagine you had about ten excel tables linked in a graph, any interesting visualization or analysis involves querying it like a database, and many databases are very rigid in terms what they can store, not flexible like excel. Semantic web stores (triple stores) are mostly schemaless and solve the rigidity but they had their own problems [1], datomic's 5-store model maybe fixes them? So maybe we will see an excel-for-graphs based on datomic someday soon. I'm working on this problem so if anyone has any interest in discussing this you should email me! It's a really interesting problem because excel-for-graphs would be an amazing starting point for building CRUD apps.
[1] can anyone help me with clarity here as to why triple stores failed? Is it because no :db/retract and no time axis so cache consistency problems? or a deeper reason?
