Inside FlureeDB: A Hands-On Tour of the Verifiable Knowledge Graph

About this event

Most databases store records. FlureeDB stores knowledge — and the proof of where it came from. In this hands-on session, we'll go past the pitch and actually build with it.

Starting from a clean install, we'll stand up a FlureeDB ledger, load real data, and query it two ways — SPARQL 1.1 and idiomatic JSON-LD — against the same engine.

From there we'll exercise the features that make a knowledge graph verifiable: an immutable ledger you can query at any past moment, per-triple access control enforced inside the query engine, git-style branch and merge for data, and cryptographically signed commits.

We'll wire up the bundled MCP server so an AI agent can query the graph directly — governed by the same policies — and close on deployment: the same single binary as a CLI, an HTTP server, an embedded Rust library, or fully serverless.

Bring a terminal if you want to follow along.

What we'll build and show, live:

  • Install in 60 seconds → create a ledger → load JSON-LD / RDF data
  • Query the same graph with SPARQL 1.1 and JSON-LD Query
  • Time travel — query the graph as it existed at any past transaction
  • Per-triple access control: one query, different results per identity
  • Branch, test, and merge a schema change without touching production
  • Integrated search (BM25 + vector) and OWL/RDFS reasoning, in-engine
  • Point an AI agent at the graph over MCP — governed by default
  • Deploy anywhere: CLI, HTTP server, embedded library, or serverless

You'll leave with a working mental model of FlureeDB, the install + quickstart links to reproduce everything, and a clear sense of where it fits next to a triple store, a vector DB, and a stitched-together governance stack.
