(#3669631)
The product seems to share characteristics with triplestores and the Sparql query language and append-only persistence mechanism from the Linked Data sphere/movement. Could someone more knowledgeable comment on this similarity?
Some differences:
1. No concept of inference/reasoning
2. No mention of a graph
3. Interesting use of clientside caching / data-peering
4. Clojure serialization vs N3/Turtle/RDF
Some similarities:
1. Quadstores have are parameterized by graph, Datomic by time
2. subject-predicate-object model
3. query-anything ( including [ ?s ?p ?o] ??)
4. query anywhere (sending an rdf to a client for local query seems similar)
edit- I give up trying to get HN to render an ordered list. Any help would be... helpful.
