Graphs are one of the best abstractions we have for modeling connectedness. Graph databases, in turn, are one of the best tools at our disposal for modeling, storing and querying complex, densely-connected data. Today, graphs and graph databases are helping solve some of the world’s most challenging data problems, in domains as diverse as search, social networking, recommendations, datacenter management, logistics, entitlements and authorization, route finding, network monitoring, and fraud analysis.
This session takes a peek inside the graphista’s toolbox. We’ll look at some common graph data structures, and the graph database queries that unleash the insights buried inside them. We’ll survey some of the tools and techniques you can use to graph your world, experiment with graph data, and apply it in your own applications. And we’ll draw lots of circles and lines. We might even colour some of them in.
