Research

This section documents the design decisions, prior art surveys, and architectural rationale behind pg_ripple.

The research appendix is intended for contributors, curious users, and anyone evaluating pg_ripple against alternative systems.

What's here

• Prior Art — survey of existing RDF stores, graph databases, and PostgreSQL graph extensions
• PostgreSQL Deep-Dive — why PostgreSQL 18 is the right base for a high-performance triple store
• Cypher/LPG Analysis — the relationship between RDF/SPARQL and property graph models

This content mirrors the design documents in the plans/ directory of the repository.
