1. Nonexistent graph store adapters 🐞 Bug ≡ Correctness
docs/storage-backends.md lists and imports Neo4jGraphStore/NeptuneGraphStore/AgeGraphStore, but these symbols are not defined/exported by semantica.graph_store, so the examples will raise ImportError. The built-in LPG APIs are GraphStore (facade) and Neo4jStore/AmazonNeptuneStore/ApacheAgeStore with different parameter names.
Agent Prompt
### Issue description
`docs/storage-backends.md` references non-existent LPG adapter classes (`Neo4jGraphStore`, `NeptuneGraphStore`, `AgeGraphStore`) and shows constructor kwargs that do not match the actual Semantica APIs.
### Issue Context
Semantica’s LPG entry points are exported from `semantica.graph_store` as `GraphStore` (recommended facade) and the concrete backends `Neo4jStore`, `AmazonNeptuneStore`, and `ApacheAgeStore`.
### Fix Focus Areas
- docs/storage-backends.md[16-83]
### What to change
- Update the adapter inventory table to reference `semantica.graph_store.Neo4jStore`, `semantica.graph_store.AmazonNeptuneStore`, and `semantica.graph_store.ApacheAgeStore` **or** consistently document the facade usage (`GraphStore(backend="neo4j"|"neptune"|"age", ...)`).
- Update the “Minimal connection examples” accordingly:
- Neo4j: use `GraphStore(... user=..., password=...)` or `Neo4jStore(uri=..., user=..., password=...)` (note `user`, not `username`).
- Neptune: use `GraphStore(... endpoint=..., port=..., region=..., iam_auth=...)` or `AmazonNeptuneStore(endpoint=..., ...)` (note `endpoint`, not `host`).
- AGE: use `GraphStore(backend="age", connection_string=..., graph_name=...)` or `ApacheAgeStore(connection_string=..., graph_name=...)` (note `connection_string/graph_name`, not `dsn/graph`).

2. Broken triplet store examples 🐞 Bug ≡ Correctness
The RDF connection snippets use url=/repository= kwargs that don’t match the actual constructors (e.g., BlazegraphStore requires endpoint, RDF4JStore uses endpoint + repository_id, and AnzoStore requires dataset_uri), so the examples will error or not connect as shown. This makes the “minimal connection examples” section unusable for RDF backends.
Agent Prompt
### Issue description
`docs/storage-backends.md` shows RDF backend initialization with incorrect constructor keyword arguments (`url`, `repository`), which will raise `TypeError` (Blazegraph/Anzo) or fail to wire the connection settings (RDF4J/Jena).
### Issue Context
The backend classes in `semantica.triplet_store` use `endpoint` as the connection URL argument (and backend-specific config keys like `repository_id` or `dataset_uri`). The cookbook also demonstrates using the `TripletStore` facade with `backend=...` and `endpoint=...`.
### Fix Focus Areas
- docs/storage-backends.md[85-126]
### What to change (examples)
- RDF4J:
- `RDF4JStore(endpoint="http://.../rdf4j-server", repository_id="semantica")`
- Jena:
- `JenaStore(endpoint="http://localhost:3030/ds", dataset="semantica")` (or align with how Fuseki endpoints are represented in your docs)
- Blazegraph:
- `BlazegraphStore(endpoint="http://localhost:9999/blazegraph", namespace="...")` (and omit `/sparql` if not required)
- Anzo:
- `AnzoStore(endpoint="http://anzo-host:10000", dataset_uri="http://...Graphmart/..." )`
- Alternatively, show `TripletStore(backend="rdf4j"|"jena"|"blazegraph"|"anzo", endpoint=..., ...)` to keep docs consistent with the cookbook.

3. Anzo adapter misclassified 🐞 Bug ≡ Correctness
The adapter inventory marks Anzo as interface/BYO, but Semantica includes and exports a concrete AnzoStore implementation, so users may incorrectly think no built-in adapter exists. This contradicts the doc’s own definition of built-in (“adapter implementation exists in Semantica core”).
Agent Prompt
### Issue description
The Anzo row is labeled `interface/BYO`, but Semantica ships an `AnzoStore` backend in core.
### Issue Context
The doc defines `built-in` as “adapter implementation exists in Semantica core,” which matches `AnzoStore` being implemented and exported.
### Fix Focus Areas
- docs/storage-backends.md[14-25]
### What to change
- Change the Anzo adapter inventory status from `interface/BYO` to `built-in` (and optionally add a separate note in “Known limitations” if Anzo deployments require environment-specific validation).

4. Password literal in example 🐞 Bug ⛨ Security
The Neo4j snippet uses a password-shaped literal (password='password'), which encourages copy-pasting credentials into source even though the page later recommends env vars/secret storage. Use an environment variable placeholder directly in the snippet to align with the guidance.
Agent Prompt
### Issue description
The Neo4j example includes a literal password value.
### Issue Context
This page targets regulated/self-hosted deployments and already advises using environment variables or secret storage; the snippet should model that practice.
### Fix Focus Areas
- docs/storage-backends.md[51-61]
### What to change
- Replace the literal with an env-var based placeholder, e.g.:
- `import os`
- `password=os.environ.get("NEO4J_PASSWORD")`
- (and optionally `username/user=os.environ.get("NEO4J_USER", "neo4j")`).

Pull request overview
Adds a new documentation page to clarify Semantica’s graph storage backend support, distinguishing LPG vs RDF adapters and providing an explicit feature/limitations matrix plus connection examples to improve onboarding (per #888).
Changes:
- Introduces
docs/storage-backends.mdwith an adapter inventory and status labels. - Adds an RDF/LPG feature compatibility matrix including known limitations.
- Provides minimal “how to connect” examples for listed backends.
Suppressed comments (3)
docs/storage-backends.md:34
- The feature matrix omits built-in backends that are part of the codebase (
FalkorDBStore,OxigraphStore) and marks Anzo as fully BYO even though anAnzoStoreimplementation (with tests) exists. This can mislead readers about what Semantica actually supports out of the box.
| Backend | Model | Ingestion | Context graph construction | Reasoning/analytics | Provenance | Known limitations |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Neo4j | LPG | Yes | Yes | Yes | Partial | Provenance and context metadata are stored as node and edge properties; relationship properties and stable node identifiers are required. |
| Amazon Neptune | LPG | Yes | Yes | Partial | Partial | Use the property-graph endpoint; AWS auth, VPC, and endpoint configuration can affect local tests. Provenance depends on node/edge properties. |
| Apache AGE | LPG | Yes | Yes | Partial | Partial | Runs through PostgreSQL/AGE; Cypher compatibility and property handling can differ from standalone LPG engines. |
docs/storage-backends.md:80
- The Apache AGE example imports
AgeGraphStore(not present) and usesdsn/graphkwargs, but the supported configuration for the AGE backend isconnection_string+graph_name(viaGraphStore(backend="age", ...)orApacheAgeStore).
```python
from semantica.graph_store import AgeGraphStore
store = AgeGraphStore(
dsn='postgresql://user:password@localhost:5432/semantica',
docs/storage-backends.md:113
- The Blazegraph and Anzo examples use
url=/repository=kwargs that don’t match either the backend store constructors orTripletStore, and Anzo requires adataset_uri(not a repository name). This should be updated to a working minimal configuration.
```python
from semantica.triplet_store import BlazegraphStore
store = BlazegraphStore(
url='http://localhost:9999/blazegraph/sparql'
