Semantic Graph Databases are very different from Graph Databases. Sematic uses rdf and is suitable for pulling existing datasets from disparte sources ( db pedia ) and other semantic sources like an authors corpus ( Gore Vidal ) for example. Pure graph established relationships betwen points and has other use cases ( useful ones for examlpe fraud detection or describing massive network topologies and there permormance and monitoring ). Semantic is ontological and more about inference of facts and discovery knowledge.

We offer Janus Graph on IBM Cloud and promote Neo4J on Power platform - what use case(s) can we make for Graph DB.

Indeed differntiating pure Graph over Semantic Graph could be a seperate article in it's self

I am currently researching Semantic offerings and what we have at IBM appears to be at first glance a redbook blog post from 2013 https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/blogs/5things/entry/5_things_to_know_about_the_semantic_technologies?lang=en ( this like will expire 31 Dec 2019! ).

On the pure Graph DB front we offer Janus Graph on IBM cloud and promote Neo4j heavily(?) on Power platform.
