In What tools are you using for knowledge graph building?Very nice! any plans to use it as a backend for google's badwolf[1] (a temporal graph store)?
https://github.com/google/badwolf
In Cayley – An open-source graph databaseAlso, we're still at the beginning of the project. Since we build a RDF model of the infrastructure (stored locally), we will soon be able to answer many advanced queries easily such as:
- everything inside a VPC
- the siblings of an instance
etc.
We currently rely on https://github.com/google/badwolf for that.
awless also includes an easy-to-write template engine (vs. CloudFormation or TerraForm - which we also plan to integrate).
See more features in the README. Note that, according to feedback since launch, it seems that awless is noticeably faster than aws-cli. The latest version (that you build with go install) has no statistics, try for yourself!

Graph store currently being used by Google's Spam & Abuse Team. Last commit last week.
In Cayley – An open-source graph databasehttps://github.com/google/badwolf this is another similar project being developed at Google.
Badwolf has a SPARQL-like query language too.
In DegDB, an open-source distributed graph database@thwd Thanks for the comments. I (author) have filled https://github.com/google/badwolf/issues/6 to revisit the defintion.
In Google Badwolf: Temporal graph store abstraction layerCayley author here. Reached out here: https://github.com/google/badwolf/issues/4
I've been doing graphs for a long time, and I'm not quite sure I get what a 'temporal triple' is exactly (or what its use case is) from the docs. But I'm willing to learn!
In Google Badwolf: Temporal graph store abstraction layerIf the author is reading:
> Covariant: Given two types A and B, A covariant B if B is a A. In other word, A covariant B if B is a prefix of A.
Taken from here: https://github.com/google/badwolf/blob/master/docs/temporal_...
Co(ntra)variance only makes sense if you define a subtype relation first. And I think that's what you wanted to define here.
After skimming through the docs I think what you want is: A is a subtype of B if B's path is a prefix of A's.
