- AgoRapide 3y agoWe are actually working with semantics / ontologies. The graph database is just our engine for storing the data. I am starting to think whether an ordinary SQL database could be just as useful.
- bpiche 3y agoVery interesting. What did they used to use back in the day? SPARQL? This wiki article indicates that it should be possible to store triples in a RDBMS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPARQL#Advantages https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPARQL#Advantages
- AgoRapide 3y agoSo far I see more value in ontologies than graph databases. When using established ontologies naming does not become an issue and exchanging / understanding data becomes easier. You also push some of your code to the database "as data" and can reason on it better.
