Hello Community, I hope you are all great. I would appreciate you all to take a look at the following project summary and background/draft proposal that we are trying to propose to the Apache Community.
Currently, we are looking for mentors and champion and we would appreciate it if someone who is interested to join us in this journey. Project Abstract/Proposal/Background: Abstract: AgensGraph will be a multi-model database that enables graph and relational models built on PostgreSQL. Proposal: We propose the AgensGraph Extension to the Apache foundation. AgensGraph Extension is to provide an extension for PostgreSQL to give the users the ability to leverage graph database on top of the existing relational database with minimal effort. The basic principle of the project is to create single storage that can handle both relational and graph model data so that the users can use the standard ANSI SQL along with openCypher (http://www.opencypher.org), the Graph query language. Background: To provide some background, the AgensGraph extension project is being actively developed. This project is a new generation of a multi-model graph database for the modern complex data environment. A graph database can solve problems from very different angles, thanks to its different approach to data and its organization. By preparing data in graph models the users can apply graph algorithms that provide forte in handling complexity. Moreover, Graph data is a suitable form to apply machine learning. Prior to AgensGraph extension, there is an existing forked project which is publicly available on the following link: https://github.com/bitnine-oss/agensgraph While working on the fork version of this project, we found out that there are increasing voices asking for an extension of AgensGraph. It was then when we decided to develop and work on the extension version to provide more benefits to PostgreSQL users such as easy installation and compatibility. AgensGraph Extension is a multi-model database designed to be simple and user-friendly, which supports the relational and graph data model at the same time that enables users to integrate the legacy relational data model and the flexible graph data model in one database. AgensGraph Extension supports ANSI-SQL and openCypher (http://www.opencypher.org). SQL queries and Cypher queries can be integrated into a single query in AgensGraph Extension. Currently, we have active users and contributors that forked and used this project for other projects. Some examples could be found in the following links: https://www.nuget.org/packages/FSharp.Data.AgensGraph/ We are working on the rest of the proposals and waiting to gain write access for wiki so we can post it there. I would greatly appreciate it if interested people to support and help us through this process.
