3 years ago Thank you for your input on this critical matter of database choice. We have reviewed your suggestions but will not, at this stage, be making any changes in the current HRE database choice. There are a number of reasons for this, the chief ones being:
- The HRE software platform was decided some time ago and a change in direction at this stage of development would have a negative impact on the development process
- The suggested database types do not conform to the HRE requirement for the code base to be free and Open Source
- There is a requirement for some degree of compatibility with TMG to allow the initial transfer of TMG data to a structure which can then be extended
- There are potential issues relating to the continuance and ongoing support of any non-SQL databases, such as those suggested.
If, as you suggest, there is value in the use of graphical databases (and this may be true for some components of historical research processes) then no doubt a developer could embody this in an HRE plugin at some time in the future.

You should really look at database types for linked data, like neo4j or document based that support linked data like mongodb...
Or any similar types of databases...
graph databases will give you huge benefits over a relation database, all the data in a project like this will be some kind of linked data...
Just a suggestion... I'm looking forward and hope that I will be able to use this system to see if it fits my research.
