Vector based similarity search index for QLever database

Improved search for scalable open-source graph database

This project extends QLever, an extremely efficient and scalable open-source graph database, by implementing a generic vector-based similarity search index. By integrating this feature alongside existing support for full-text and geo-spatial search, the project creates a unified engine that efficiently combines structured graph queries with semantic vector search. This makes massive Linked Open Data datasets readily available for AI-driven Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG), including datasets such as Wikidata, UniProt, and OpenStreetMap.
