Overview of popular graph databases

The change in technology and the form of data being used has led to massive changes in database technologies. Most applications today, represent data that are intensely associative i.e. structured graphs, texts, hypertexts, wikis, RDF and social networking. The traditional relational database model (RDBMS) has been proved to be ineffective while handling such associated data with problems regarding horizontal scalability and dynamic data handling. Graph database is one such database technology that is capable of handling such highly heterogeneous and dynamic data. In this paper we will be summarizing popular graph databases that are currently in use in many prestigious organisations.
