3+ ## About CypherDB
4+
5+ CypherDB is a fork of [ Kuzu] ( https://github.com/kuzudb/kuzu ) , an embedded graph database that is now a public archive.
6+
7+ The openCypher organization is evaluating how we can best support this
8+ technology and its community. Our initial goals are to:
9+
10+ 1 . Explore whether CypherDB can serve as a reference implementation of
11+ ISO-GQL's mandatory features
12+ 2 . Determine what sustainable open source stewardship looks like for this project
13+ 3 . Learn about the community of users and contributors
14+
15+ ** This is an evaluation phase.** We're committed to transparent communication
16+ with both the existing Kuzu community and potential contributors as we determine
17+ the best path forward. Our decisions will be guided by what serves the broader
18+ graph database ecosystem.
19+
20+ The extensive ` s/kuzu/cypherdb/ ` is to acknowledgement that the original project
21+ name belongs to the original commercial venture, and this is not that.
