I had some thoughts about this and I see basically 2 directions for us:
- RDF/RDFS/OWL and W3C standards: that would require some effort in  
the design and maintenance of the DB and query interface.
- Existing DBMS platforms (most likely Neo4j), which come with their  
prorietarw query languages (cypher for instance) but would be deployed  
more quickly.

I saw an interest in demonstrating the benefit of the VSS model  
through GraphQL, and that is of course possible with both approaches:  
with HypergraphQL [1] (or equivalent) on linked data or a GRAND stack  
[2] including neo4j.

It mostly depends on the community using the interface. I have a  
personnal preference for the open standard way (RDF/OWL...) so I can  
use directly ontologies (like VSSo) without a need for adaptation  
(e.g. fro URIs to local IDs) and export JSON-LD data, but I understand  
that this is not mandatory for graphQL interface demonstrations.
