Wow - great to see more work in this area. And interesting to see that the Swiss Government is supporting.

We’ve been working on a graph/document database with these kind of collaborative revision-control features over at TerminusDB (https://github.com/terminusdb/terminusdb). I think it is the wave of the future. And interestingly we also came out of a European Commission backed project.

Our approach to distribution is to use delta encoding and succinct data structures. We borrowed a fair few ideas from Git. Might be interested to read our storage layer white paper: https://github.com/terminusdb/terminusdb/blob/master/docs/wh...

Conflict free merges sound fantastic - not an easy road! Good luck.

Thanks a lot, I heard about TerminusDB in the past, the capacity to do queries is interesting, that's something Condensation doesn't provide as it is on the client side and because at least now there are no tools to do it on the store.

I would be very happy to keep in touch and you have to give me the secret of these European funds.

I'm afraid the European monies are all spent! Was in a former life when we were a university progect called ALIGNED. But got us off the ground at least.

Very happy to stay in touch! We have a Discord server if you are interested.
