Graph Database "Trinity" - Microsoft Research

Trinity - Microsoft Research


NoSQL databases (or data-stores) come in various shapes and forms:

  • key-value stores
  • colunm stores
  • document databases
  • graph databases
  • ...

    Graph stores are most complex, and most powerful for connected-data, i.e. OLAP or Semantic Web.

    Neo4j is most popular graph store, and it is even available on Windows Azure.

    Microsoft research is exploring an in-memory alternative tool "Trinity"
    (the name may be play on characters from movie "Matrix" :)
