I wonder if you've considered a tabular collection/presentation of this information?

It's hard to parse as blocks of blurb, and I see a lot of variance in how each block is worded, making comparisons difficult even if you get past the parsing challenge.

I also wonder about definitions-of-terms, as many words used here are overloaded and/or commonly misunderstood.

Hi,

Thanks for putting together this collection of NoSQL databases!

Could you please add an explicit LICENSE file to the repo so that it's clear under what terms the content is provided, and under what terms user contributions are licensed?

Per GitHub docs on licensing:

Generally speaking, the absence of a license means that the default copyright laws apply. This means that you retain all rights to your source code and that nobody else may reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from your work. This might not be what you intend.

In case it's helpful, choosealicense.com provides a nice overview of several popular open source licenses from which to choose. In this case, since it's not code but documentation, perhaps CC-BY-4.0 is a good choice?

Thanks!

What is the performance? (quite brave to put yourself before Mark Logic)

This is the first suggestion I've seen that the list ordering is based on anything other than randomness.

As you now seem to say that "performance" (a rather opaque and variably defined word) is supposed to guide the order of these listings, it seems reasonable that some notes should be added to the page -- minimally including what benchmark(s) are being used to determine this comparison, and how new entrants may produce verifiable results to guide their own placement on the list. Minimal information required would include:

• what hardware (or cloud VM setup) should be used?
• what network or other tuning should be applied?
• what dataset should be used (if not specified within the benchmark)?

LDBC and TPC benchmarks are reasonably well specified along those lines, though it is entirely possible to run any benchmark against a poorly configured instance and get terrible results, where a properly configured instance would deliver great results.

I would especially like to know these answers so that Virtuoso can be put in its proper positions in all sections where it is (or should be) listed.

Looking at the HTML tags of this page, I can see that there are sections that start with an h2 tag that defines a group of databases.

<section>
<h2 id="multimodel">Multimodel Databases</h2>
<article>...</article>
<article>...</article>
</section>

For XML Databases, the article tags that are supposed to be inside its section are outside and we have a bunch of article tags until the next section.
