GraphDB 11.1.0 Release Notes
21/08/2025
rdf4j 5.1.4
Connectors 16.4.0
Workbench 3.1.0
GraphDB 11.1 marks a major step forward in bringing LLM and AI capabilities closer to enterprise knowledge graphs. With this release, Talk to Your Graph (TTYG) becomes more versatile, extensible, and ready for real-world integration:
More LLMs, more choice
You no longer need to rely solely on OpenAI’s models when using GraphDB’s AI features. In addition to OpenAI, you can now plug in non-OpenAI models across TTYG, GPT-powered SPARQL functions, and SPARQL explains, giving you full flexibility in choosing the AI engine that best fits your requirements.
Agent-friendly integrations
TTYG tools are now exposed via OpenAPI for connection to third-party agents or automation platforms, while the Model Context Protocol (MCP) server integration brings modern agent standards directly into GraphDB.
Smarter interactions
From autocomplete-based IRI suggestions in TTYG to better keyboard handling and inline cost reporting for token usage, GraphDB makes working with LLMs more transparent, efficient, and user-friendly.
Beyond AI, GraphDB 11.1 also strengthens its core database and cluster reliability:
Optimized SHACL validation and support for DESCRIBE with Concise Bounded Descriptions (CBD) improve standards compliance and performance.
Several long-standing deadlocks and transaction edge cases were resolved, ensuring smoother parallel operations and cluster recovery.
Cluster administrators gain the ability to restart repositories without downtime, while cluster synchronization and backup/restore resilience have been improved.
On the integration and UX side, GraphDB 11.1 tightens GraphQL schema handling, improves Workbench validation and usability, and updates dependencies to address known vulnerabilities.
In short, GraphDB 11.1 isn’t just an incremental release – it’s about making AI a first-class citizen in the knowledge graph, while also strengthening the robustness and day-to-day experience of running GraphDB in production.
