Early history

Until version 1.5, which was released 12 February 2015, Blazegraph was known as Bigdata.[7][8]

Prominent users

Notable features
  • RDF* — an alternative approach to RDF reification,[11] which gives RDF graphs capabilities of LPG graphs;[12]
  • as the consequence of the previous, ability of querying graphs both in SPARQL and Gremlin;[13][14]
  • as an alternative to Gremlin querying, GAS abstraction over RDF graphs support in SPARQL;[15]
  • The SERVICE syntax of federated queries for functionality extending;[16]
  • Managed behavior of the query plan generator;[17]
  • Reusable named subqueries.[18]

Acqui-hiring by AWS

It was alleged[19] that Amazon Neptune is based on Blazegraph, as evidenced by:

  • acquiring of the Blazegraph trademark by AWS;[20]
  • acquiring of the blazegraph.com domain name by AWS;[21]
  • transition of many employees (including CEO) to AWS.[22]
gollark: Or at least with other mods.
gollark: It doesn't matter much though, given that it's clearly meant for use in big packs.
gollark: Not really.
gollark: Just chuck stuff in the magic chest which can also do smelting.
gollark: 2x ore processing, but it's massively high-throughput.
