NebulaGraph Enterprise v5.0 offers native GQL support

April 18, 2024 /

As a member of Linked Data Benchmark Council, Vesoft (NebulaGraph) participates in the formulation and promotion of GQL standards and announced its GQL native support in NebulaGraph Enterprise v5.0.

ISO/IEC released the international standard of Graph Query Language (GQL) on April 12th, 2024. This publication establishes the foundations for property graphs, covering their creation, maintenance, and control, along with the data they comprise. It also standardizes the data management language for outlining and modifying the structure of these graphs and their collections.

GQL standards help to ensure data portability and manipulation across GQL implementations, and compatibility with programming languages and database tools. It will foster a dynamic graph database ecosystem and lower the entry barrier for this technology, enabling more enterprises to effectively utilize graph databases for complex relational data.

Rather than just being compatible or adapted to GQL, NebulaGraph Enterprise v5.0 has been redesigned to support GQL at the overall architecture level: it is built on and designed for GQL for data compatibility and interoperability, thereby amplifying the business value of graph databases across various scenarios. Native support for GQL means that enterprises can directly benefit from enhanced interoperability, improved stability, enhanced security, and more cost-efficient maintenance.

Expert.ai launches Insight Engine for Life Sciences

April 15, 2024 /

Expert.ai, specialists in providing AI-powered language solutions to enterprises, today announced the launch of the expert.ai Insight Engine for Life Sciences.

For the world of drug research and development, data is both a challenge to be managed and an opportunity. The ability to effectively and quickly mine scientific and biomedical content for developing new drugs and to design and operate clinical trials is critical. The complexity of the diverse data sources that researchers depend on makes integrating, standardizing and analyzing them both challenging. Commercial licensing and data access restrictions, as well as the lack of granularity and different taxonomies used by common search tools complicate the process.

Advanced AI technologies provide the capability to mine and aggregate scientific content, synthesize knowledge, extract relevant information & reveal hidden correlations, helping researchers quickly access and analyze a vast amount of relevant information coming from biomedical and scientific literature, including full texts, speeding up the discovery and development of new drugs and therapies. Expert.ai Insight Engine for Life Sciences supports multiple use cases, including competitive intelligence, clinical trial design optimization, intellectual property protection, and research intelligence.
