Franz Inc.

Franz Inc.

Franz Inc. was founded in early 1984 as a vehicle to produce and sell Macsyma. While that never developed into a business, Franz Inc. did sell Franz Lisp while working on their own Common Lisp implementation. 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.

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 product, [http://www.allegrograph.com AllegroGraph] , is built on many of the technologies found in Allegro CL and AllegroCache and has become a major focus for the company. The current release of AllegroGraph v3.0 incorporates Geospatial, Temporal and Social Networking Analytics libraries as part of what the Company has termed its Activity recognition package.

AllegroGraph supports SPARQL, Jena (framework), Sesame (framework), Full Text Search, RDFS++, and Prolog reasoning.
