Supported Graph Databases ?

[mickdelaney]

Hi,

I'm just investigating the framework/tools at the moment, but am coming at it from the point of view of blueprints (java).
So i'm looking to build a graph solution utilitizing some remote graph database, e.g. Neo4j, OrientDB etc.
Is the intention of Blueprints.NET to support that type of scenario?

Regards
Mick

Such graphs could be implemented with Blueprints.NET... but currently that is not my highest priority.

In order to understand the intended architecture a bit better:

• Blueprints.NET / Balder is an in-memory interface definition and implementation of a recursive generic property graph coming with some depended graphs (e.g. schema graphs) and optimized graph representations beside the omnipotent property graph (e.g. adjacency matrix, etc.pp) and graph operators mainly based on flow-based and reactive programing using the Vanaheimr subproject Styx. In the future there will also be ways to use the normal RX framework.
• Bifrost is another Vanaheimr subproject which handles all kinds of remote graphs. In the future this project, in combination with Hermod (networking) and Walkyr (graph serialization formats), will also provide ways to connect to other graph processing and graph database projects like OrientDB, Neo4j and even Stardog. But don't expect that recursive generic Vanaheimr graphs can always be serialized to the graph representations of these projects. And don't expect this within the next 3-6 months.

Take care, that although Vanaheimr is heavily used within some production environments, its current intention is to be a project for graph and networking research.

Cheers
