Not SQL. Queries and data are expressed via data structures.
Not an ORM. Data and results are data-shaped, not object-shaped.
Not just a graph store. Queries aren't expressed through paths, though paths can be part of them.
Not a document store.
Not NoSQL. Rich queries, rich types.
Not schemaless. Schemas are an important part of thinking about a domain and characterizing storage and querying.
