IMPORTANT - TinkerPop is now a part of the Apache Software Foundation and "TinkerPop 3.x":http://tinkerpop.apache.org/ is the latest incarnation of The TinkerPop. This project is TinkerPop 2.x and is no longer active.

Blueprints is a "property graph model interface":http://github.com/tinkerpop/gremlin/wiki/Defining-a-Property-Graph. It provides implementations, test suites, and supporting extensions. Graph databases and frameworks that implement the Blueprints interfaces automatically support Blueprints-enabled applications. Likewise, Blueprints-enabled applications can plug-and-play different Blueprints-enabled graph backends.
