Chapter 5Navigating Graphs with Neo4j
We are now going to turn our attention to property graphs. The property graph is perhaps the best-known data model for semantic graphs (graphs with an explicit information superstructure).
Property graphs—also known as labeled property graphs—are graphs in which both nodes and edges may be attributed properties and in which nodes may be labeled for grouping.
To study property graphs in a more controlled way, we’ll benefit greatly by using a database to store our graphs so that we can requery them without having to rebuild them. And a true graph database—a database that deals with graphs as first-class data structures—would be even better. Unquestionably, one of the most popular graph databases is Neo4j, ...
