I'm curious how it relates to your startup. None of your data lived in a semantic db?

You'd've thought so. Persisted to SQL-Server. Early 2000s, so totally impractical.

The CTO cofounder was not impressed by the UI guy asking out loud what every one was thinking.

The fancy pants UI I was tasked to create wasn't even backed by a query language or path expressions. So dumb.

I stayed just long enough to find another gig.

PS- I did storyboard and wireframed a novel UI which resolved the graph visualization "paradox" (aka "focus+context"). It'd be perfect for neo4j & Cypher. I always thought I'd eventually circle back, if only to see if the idea had legs. Oh well.
