It was already a Greek speaking Empire by the time of Justinian. The lingua franca of the Empire doesn't, imho, determine continuity. Hellenism and speaking Greek was popular from the time of Hadrian (and before). Marcus Aurelius wrote

Byzantium is not a thing. Just Frankish propaganda that has enthralled the west for centuries. There is unanimous agreement among all scholars that referring to Constantinople as the Roman Empire is much more useful than calling the Holy Ro

I don't mean to be too precise, but the article is slightly undermined by the claim in the graphic that the 543 Justinian plague hurried the collapse of the eastern Roman Empire. The 'Eastern' Roman Empire fell in 1453 when

You'll have to try :) Very interesting - thanks for the additional detail. Will have to think about how we might best represent in Terminus. We did a bunch of work for retailers in exactly the situation you describe.

Was discussing your point with a colleague and the comment about time travel is very interesting. Could you give a little more detail the the point? With us, everyone can be talking about a different time point in a branch whenever they lik

That's very interesting. This is why we think (Luke from TerminusDB again) designing your own full featured graph DB is the best appraoch to the problem - you can work from the ground up and ensure performance is satisfactory for the o

Thanks! Luke from TerminusDB here. We think a graph is the best way to approach a graphy problem! We like Prolog for Querying, constraint checking and user interaction. Rust is great for low-level data manipulation. Prolog is a superpower -

Yes, the latest version of Terminus uses JSON-LD, which is a serialisation of RDF. This enables us to store queries in a database and provides a schema documentation for our datalog query language. Release notes: https://github.c

Luke from TerminusDB here. Thanks for the honorable mention! Definitely exciting times in database land and great to be in the same list as all these projects. We are focused on the revision control aspects of Terminus - trying to make the

Very interesting. I work with TerminusDB and we've been thinking a lot about how to apply a revision control semantic graph db to ML tasks. The whole MLOps process is fragmented and we think a collaborative revision control (like git b

Like you, I don't have any experience with RecallGraph, but I have been following Arango closely (I work with TerminusDB). First impression is that it looks very interesting and going in a similar 'like Git but for data' dir

Aha! Didn't have the redirect for www.terminusdb.com - fixed.

Which site? TerminusDB.com looks ok to me!

Earlier this year before the COVID19 crisis began, the TerminusDB core team got together in Dublin. It got a little late and a little messy and one of the team (Sreya) displayed a particular talent for Nicki Minaj’s Super Bass (think 2am ou

This thing is on a 6 month hacker news circuit. And front page every time. There is a psychological conceit in the backend about using tech 'that has 20 years of maturity' - that plays out with DBs more than anywhere else. 'L

TerminusDB 2.0 will allow for the whole suite of revision control features: branch, merge, squash, rollback, blame, and time-travel. Our goal is to enable the types of CI/CD used extensively in software engineering to be used with data

TerminusDB (open source graph DB) had a 'Show HN' article a couple of months ago - since then work has focused on the delivery of collaborative Git-like functionality for the DB. I thought the community might be interested in this

Which two? On ACID, I hear the arguments on Mongo Atlas since they integrated the wiredtiger tech (to basically become a RDBMS), but still not ACID. The other is cloud native I suppose? Again, have moved along and we gave the a balanced sco

It is trying to get something into a snappy form that is clear enough to as many people as possible. I like 'data - mapper' but it still needs explanation, so probably better to leave that stuff to the tutorials and try to highlig

We will 100% consider it and have been engaging with the community about the best approach. Cypher is by far the biggest graph query language and they seem to have the most weight in the conversation so far, but we are going to try to repre

Yes, we follow Dgraph pretty closely. It is a cool project, but it is distributed first with all the challenges (and advantages) that brings. My general impression is that they are google (or similar) engineers that are focused on solving g

You checked the origin as in you read my comment on this thread? Pretty clear when I said it started in Trinity College Dublin working with linked data. Semantic web certainly suffers from true believers that refuse any break with orthodoxy

Thanks - you are definitely a terminator. You should join the community Discord to chat with the team about logic programming, graphs and anything else!

Yes, we need to delete that. And actually think about all the product comparison categories again. Too many parts!
