Here's one way to look at it: A graph database can be reflected with common, well-understood data structures. You can use a lot of backends to represent those data structures.

Graph database projects are often times just an adapter for doing Graph queries on-top of another store.

At their core, a graph database can be reflected simply with just documents and adjacency lists https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adjacency_list

Do you think it's fair to say traditional DBs are about data, but graph DBs are (more) about relationships (between the data)?
