Today we’re happy to announce the release of Stardog 3.0. The culmination of more than 12 months of work, Stardog 3.0 is the best semantic graph database available. You can download a free evaluation copy of Stardog 3.0 at stardog.com. Have a peep at the release notes and A Preview of Stardog 3 if you want to learn more about what’s new in 3.0.
And, as always, drop us a line if you want to talk about licensing.
Ready for the Enterprise
Stardog 3.0 includes a production-ready High Availability Cluster, and it’s also the only graph database in the world to support the full OWL 2 graph modeling language. Stardog’s advantage over non-semantic graph databases keeps growing and puts our customers into a great position to solve very complex graph modeling problems.
Modeling Complex Data
The simple fact is that non-semantic graph databases are weak at modeling complex data. Dating sites are awesome…I met my wife on a dating site! But I don’t want my bank or hospital to trust my investment or medical records to a graph database optimized for dating site startups.
Stardog 3.0 adds equality reasoning to OWL 2, rules, and integrity constraint validation services to model complex data domains. Stardog is the only scalable graph database that supports the entire OWL 2 specification for rich, declarative domain models. Modeling complex, real world problems is a key distinguisher for Stardog and will be for years to come.
Enterprise Premium Support and Maven!
But it’s not just HA Cluster and modeling power that makes Stardog 3.0 the best graph database yet for the enterprise; we’ve also added LDAP authentication (with OAuth coming soon), complete Maven support, and Enterprise Premium Support offerings that give enterprise users the best customer support available anywhere.
Goodbye C&P, Hello Complexible
The company behind Stardog is now Complexible Inc. A few things to note: all of the Stardog-based solutions–our customers are doing awesome stuff with Stardog; my epic co-workers; finally, we’re hiring.
What’s Next?
2015 has been a great year so far; we’re growing rapidly, the pipeline is full, and a lot of good stuff is coming in the 3.x release series. Over the next 6 months we’ll do a series of 3.x releases that add new enterprise capabilities to Stardog:
- HA cluster management, deployment, and monitoring tools;
- virtual graphs via R2RML;
- named graph security; and
- graph traversals via a native TinkerPop 3 implementation.
My thanks to everyone who made 3.0 possible, especially Mike, Evren, Pavel, Edgar, and Fernando.
