Introduction

Thank you for downloading the HyperGraphDB distribution, release 1.3. HyperGraphDB is an innovative database management system geared towards the complexities and open-endedness of modern, data intensive information systems, in particular the semantic web, artificial intelligence, networks research and object-orientation. It combines concepts and features of several of the major data management paradigms, including graph-oriented and its cousin object-oriented DBMS as well as the relational model.

HyperGraphDB is an embedded database, based on the Java platform and the robust and high-performance BerkeleyDB storage system. The storage sub-system is pluggable and alternatives to BerkeleyDB are available.
