The first graph-based storage platform. A complete solution for creating, organising and publishing semantic data. Stores and manages data in a schema less data store, allowing complete flexibility of the shape of the data stored. Removes the complexity of managing and publishing semantic data by providing a set of RESTful services, integrated security, a complete publishing model and enterprise features such as persistent caching and reliable message queue for notifications. A simple, consistent web API for storing, managing and retrieving data. Flexible, schema-free metadata that allows applications to be easily evolved. A range of data access and query options enabling easy integration into both new and existing applications. A simple way to attach multimedia binaries. Platform As A Service or On Premise options for best requirements agree.

4. HOSS ™ – The Semantic Storage
What HOSS™ resolves:
• According to numerous research reports, organizations are struggling to manage and
leverage unstructured information
• For example: documents, metadata, content, user-generated content, RSS feeds,
email, geospatial data, and XML among others
• Unstructured information has one or more of the following characteristics:
• Heterogeneous (different formats, varying standards, irregular lengths, etc.)
• Constantly evolving in ways that may be unanticipated
• Growing exponentially

Powerful traversing:
A Traversal is how you query a Graph, navigating from starting Nodes to related Nodes
according to an algorithm, finding answers to questions like “what music do my friends like
that I don’t yet own,” or “if this power supply goes down, what web services are affected?”
• Simple traverse: can find all the based on edge property (eg. Social Network)
• All shortest paths: can find multiple paths between the same nodes
• Best shortest paths: can find the single shortest paths between the same nodes
• Dijkstra algorithm: shortest path based on Dijkstra algorithm
