Blueprints is a collection of interfaces, implementations, ouplementations, and test suites for the property graph data model. Blueprints is analogous to the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_Database_Connectivity"><span class="caps">JDBC</span></a>, but for <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_database">graph databases</a>. As such, it provides a common set of interfaces to allow developers to plug-and-play their graph database backend. Moreover, software written atop Blueprints works over all Blueprints-enabled graph databases (e.g. <a href="http://pipes.tinkerpop.com">Pipes</a>, <a href="http://gremlin.tinkerpop.com">Gremlin</a>, <a href="http://frames.tinkerpop.com">Frames</a>, <a href="http://rexster.tinkerpop.com">Rexster</a>, etc.). The documentation herein will provide information regarding the use of Blueprints.
