A free competitor to Franz's AllegroGraph by Kevin Raison.

At the moment, this code is in a state of rapid flux.  Please don't expect
it to behave consistently from one check-in to another.

The goal is to build a fast, robust, distributed graph database with optional
RDF semantics built-in.  The primary query language is Prolog (based on PAIP),
but I have plans to add Javascript and maybe Sparql at a later date.
At the moment, persistence is achieved via transaction logging and replay.
I am also working on a native SBCL memory mapped persistence
library that will give me some variation on linear hash tables.

The code checked-in as of 2012/05/06 works fairly well, but should be
considered alpha quality.  In order to get it working, you will need the
