Franz Inc. was founded in early 1984 as a vehicle to produce and sell Macsyma. Macsyma is a Computer algebra system that was originally developed from 1968 to 1982 at MIT as part of Project MAC and later While that never developed into a business, Franz Inc. did sell Franz Lisp while working on their own Common Lisp implementation. Franz Lisp, written at UC Berkeley by the students of Professor Richard J Common Lisp, commonly abbreviated CL, is a dialect of the Lisp Programming language, published in ANSI standard document Information Franz Lisp died out in the 80s as Common Lisp became more popular. Today, they sell Allegro Common Lisp, which is a direct descendant of the Common Lisp they developed in the mid-80s, and a series of products like AllegroCache built on it. Allegro Common Lisp is an Integrated development environment for the Common Lisp programming language developed by Franz Inc. AllegroCache is an Object Database implemented by Franz Inc for their Allegro CL Common Lisp environment
In late 2004, Franz began a development program focused on delivering scalable RDF database technologies for the Semantic Web, also known as Web 3.0. The Semantic Web is an evolving extension of the World Wide Web in which the Semantics of information and services on the web is defined making it possible for the Web 30 is one of the terms used to describe the evolutionary stage of the Web that follows Web 2 The product, AllegroGraph, is built on many of the highly optimized technologies found in Allegro CL and AllegroCache and was a natural extension for Franz's technology stack. The release of AllegroGraph 2. 2 in August 2007 has propelled Franz to a leading role as supplier of commercial, persistent and scalable RDF Graph Database products.
In addition to AllegroGraph's ability to process billions of RDF triples, AllegroGraph also supports SPARQL, Full Text Search, RDFS++, and Prolog reasoning from Java or Common Lisp applications. SPARQL (pronounced " sparkle ") is an RDF query language; its name is an Acronym that stands for S imple P rotocol In Text retrieval, full text search refers to a technique for searching a Computer -stored Document or Database. RDFS or RDF Schema is an extensible Knowledge representation language providing basic elements for the description of ontologies, otherwise called Prolog is a Logic programming language It is a general purpose language often associated with Artificial intelligence and Computational linguistics Java (Jawa is an Island of Indonesia and the site of its Capital city Jakarta. Common Lisp, commonly abbreviated CL, is a dialect of the Lisp Programming language, published in ANSI standard document Information
