==Implementation==

AllegroGraph was developed to meet [[W3C]] standards for the [[Resource Description Framework]], so it is properly considered an [[RDF Database]]. It is a reference implementation for the [[SPARQL]] protocol.<ref>[http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/DataAccess/impl-report-protocol SPARQL Protocol Implementation Report]</ref> SPARQL is a standard query language for linked data, serving the same purposes for RDF databases that [[SQL]] serves for relational databases.<ref>{{cite book|last1=R|first1=Angles|title=2012 IEEE International Conference on Data Engineering Workshops|date=2012|publisher=IEEE|___location=Piscataway|isbn=978-1-4673-1640-8|accessdate=23 September 2015}}</ref>

Franz, Inc. is the developer of AllegroGraph. It also develops [[Allegro Common Lisp]], an implementation of [[Common Lisp]], a dialect of [[Lisp (programming language)]]. The functionality of AllegroGraph is made available through [[Java (programming language)|Java]], [[Python (programming language)|Python]], [[Common Lisp]] and other APIs.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Watson|first1=Mark|title=Scripting intelligence : Web 3.0 information gathering and processing|date=2009|publisher=Apress|___location=Berkeley, CA|isbn=9781430223511|edition=New Edition.|accessdate=23 September 2015}}</ref>

The first version of AllegroGraph was made available at the end of 2004.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Watson|first1=Mark|title=Scripting intelligence : Web 3.0 information gathering and processing|date=2009|publisher=Apress|___location=Berkeley, CA|isbn=9781430223511|edition=New Edition.|accessdate=23 September 2015}}</ref>
