Graph Database Management Systems and Graph Theory

Abstract

In recent years, graph databases have become far more important. They have been proven to be an excellent choice for storing and managing large amounts of interconnected data. Since graph databases (GDB) rely on a graph data model based on graph theory, this study examines whether currently available graph database management systems support the principles of graph theory, and, if so, to what extent. We also show how these systems differ in terms of implementation and languages, and we also discuss which graph database management systems are used today and why.
