I just discovered Fluree which is apparently some kind of blockchain RDF triple store written in Clojure that seems to be queried using Datalog: • https://docs.flur.ee/guides/0.15.0/intro/what-is-fluree • https://flur.ee/why-fluree/ • https://github.com/fluree I have been reading the whats and whys, but I don’t really understand the purpose of it. It seems to have a tonne of documentation though. I’m guessing it’s meant for fintech stuff? I am trying to figure out what to think of it. Anybody here know what the deal is?

There are a few use cases where true immutability in a graph database has a significant business value, for example land owning rights for a country. But in times of GDPR, if a company is interested in immutable databases then they mostly need overridable immutability (to delete GDPR relevant data). It is possible to build something like this on a blockchain using anonymous identifiers but then you loose a lot of the advantages of a graph databases…. I don’t know how Fluree is addressing this issue.

the usual case with immutable databases (ie, banks) is that PII is encrypted; to delete the information, you delete the key. And this is acceptable by the GDPR and EC.
