Cayley is an open-source graph inspired by the graph database behind Freebase and Google's Knowledge Graph. Its goal is to be a part of the developer's toolbox where Linked Data and graph-shaped data (semantic webs, social networks, etc) in general are concerned.

A tiny, self-contained graph database with Datalog queries and bi-temporal time travel. Think SQLite, but for connected data with full history.
