GraphDB
GraphDB is a graph database management system that stores data as nodes, edges, and properties, enabling efficient representation and querying of complex relationships. It is designed for handling highly connected data, such as social networks, recommendation engines, and knowledge graphs, using graph theory principles. The system supports semantic web standards like RDF and SPARQL, making it suitable for linked data and ontology-driven applications.
Developers should learn GraphDB when working with data where relationships are as important as the data itself, such as in fraud detection, network analysis, or content recommendation systems. It is particularly useful in scenarios requiring complex traversals and pattern matching, like in bioinformatics or supply chain management, where traditional relational databases become inefficient due to numerous joins.
