Hey, I'm the developer for degdb. I'm really glad to see all the interest in this project, even in its very rough initial state.

I'm aware that gorm isn't a great option for graph storage but seemed to be the easiest way of handling data storage initially. A lot of this project was written at a hackathon in ~36 hours but I've been refactoring.

I looked at Cayley (and have it as a dependency in an attempt to borrow the Gremlin parser). However, it doesn't seem to have a great way to store "metadata". How would you recommend adding fields to triples such as language, author, creation date, and cryptographic signature? Serializing and shoving them into Quad.Label seems kinda hacky.
