- 17. Graph Database Landscape “Despite all of this attention the market is dominated by Neo4J and Ontotext (GraphDB), which are graph and RDF database providers respectively. These are the longest established vendors in this space (both founded in 2000) so they have a longevity and experience that other suppliers cannot yet match. How long this will remain the case remains to be seen.” Bloor Group report Graph Databases, April 2015 http://www.bloorresearch.com/technology/graph-databases/ 17Feb 2016Choosing the Right Graph Database to Succeed in Your Project
- 18. Graph Database Landscape “Linking a few data sources is often simple, but to do so with significant amounts of heterogeneous data requires a radically new approach. Graph databases are a powerful optimized technology that link billions of pieces of connected data to help create new sources of value for customers and increase operational agility for customer service. […] they are well-suited for scenarios in which relationships are important.” Forrester report Market Overview: Graph Databases, May 2015 https://www.forrester.com/Market+Overview+Graph+Databases/fulltext/-/E-RES121473 18Feb 2016Choosing the Right Graph Database to Succeed in Your Project
- 19. Graph Database Landscape “What’s different in a graph store from a database perspective is the sheer volume of connections, or relationships—how people, places, and things relate to one another through those interactions. If your data is rich, you’ll see lots of relationships between the entities in native graph form. Older database technologies place less emphasis on relationships, resulting in less context. Graphs offer the chance for richer context through more connections and any- to-any data models rather than the usual tabular or hierarchical models” PwC report The promise of graph databases in public health, June 2015 http://www.pwc.com/us/en/technology-forecast/2015/remapping-database-landscape.html 19Feb 2016Choosing the Right Graph Database to Succeed in Your Project
