Sparksee is based on a
graph database model, that is basically characterized by three properties: data structures are graphs or any other structure similar to a
graph; data manipulation and queries are based on graph-oriented operations; and there are data constraints to guarantee the integrity of the data and its relationships. A Sparksee graph is a
labeled-property graph (referred to in the official documentation as Labeled Attributed Multigraph). Labeled because nodes and edges in a graph belong to types. Attributed because both nodes and edges may have attributes and Multigraph meaning that there may be multiple edges between the same nodes even if they are from the same edge type. It supports both directed edges as well as undirected. One of its main characteristics is its performance storage and retrieval for large graphs (in the order of billions of nodes, edges and attributes) implemented with specialized structures. ==Technical details==
