Fluree – The Immutable Graph Database Goes Open Source

• mark_l_watson 6y ago
  Interesting idea, and of course I like the release using the AGPL, but I am trying to wrap my head around the use cases. Since Freebase was discontinued (not to worry, the data is in WikiData), are crowd funded/contributed Knowledge Graphs really a thing? Company internal Knowledge Graphs tend to be re-built periodically from raw data sources, including materializing implicit relations (speeds up queries). Why the need for blockchain? Anyway I wish the developers good luck because I think that graph databases are still under appreciated. EDIT: I see that it is written in Clojure, nice!

    Blockchain is a pretty open ended term. Seems in this case they use it to mean a git style history graph. From https://flur.ee/features/ https://flur.ee/features/ : Secure every update with blockchain cryptography in a core immutable ledger. Tamper-proof blockchain (SHA3-256) for extreme data integrity Complete data traceability throughout history Provable audit trail into provenance and path of data Digital signatures cryptographically tied to every change
