Overview

antology is a complete toolset for defining, maintaining, and exploring networks of information.

It is the first scaleable, distributed, associative database product built on an industry standard relational database platform.  

The value of taking an associative approach is that you can semantically link any two pieces of information. This means that your data store can be viewed as a network of linked objects. By combining this principle with a self describing data store, antology gives you the flexibility to define any business model, reducing development complexity and timescales.  

antology’s complete toolset releases you from the burden of the repetitive development of system components, leaving you free to concentrate on delivering the needs of the business.
