Using the Neo4j graph database, Wikibase Solutions enables exploitation of the true strengths of MediaWiki.

With Neo4J the wiki can play an important role in an enterprise knowledge graph. The structure of the database is not determined by the extension that stores the wiki data, as it is when using Semantic MediaWiki.

The flexible structure of the Neo4J graph database enables a role for the wiki it has never played before.
