* [[w:Graph databases|Graph databases]] would intuitively appear more advanced than using RDF-triplet composed semantic networks.
* [[w:Graph databases|Graph databases]] would intuitively appear more advanced than using RDF-triplet composed semantic networks but are not much different on the outside. Both jump through the same hoops but with different efficiency and grace.
* [[w:Object database|Object database]]s were a supposed fad in the late 80's and early 90's as [[w:relational algebra]] based systems are quite old.
* [[w:Object database|Object database]]s are old but on the rise with [[w:NoSQL|NoSQL]]-based thinking and the modern needs, like leanness, real-time need  and scaleability for which the other solutions might be too limiting.
