Hi all,
I’m a PhD student in CompSci at the University of Toronto working on a hybrid triple store/OBDA system for big data integration. I’m interested in using DGraph as triple store, but am wondering whether there are plans for it to support SPARQL, and if not, whether any SPARQL queries can be answered by writing the equivalent query in GraphQL.
Thanks,
Carol

We have no plans to support SPARQL. But, I’m sure functionality wise, GraphQL± can achieve most of what you need to do.
Also note that Dgraph is designed for real-time queries (OLTP), not long running batch queries.

That’s great, it’s what I’m looking for then. Will likely have more questions soon. Thanks!
