Graph Analytics - Relationship Analysis

You may not have heard of graph theory before, but it is a topic that is becoming more and more popular in the world of data.

Graph theory is the study of graphs and their properties.

 
 
 A graph is simply a collection of nodes (or vertices) and edges connecting them. In the context of data, graphs can be used to represent any type of relationship between entities. For example, social networks can be represented as graphs, with nodes representing people and edges representing friendships. So too can the bulb community when you consider who is posting, reading and commenting on different articles and network is formed and a community can be visualised using a graph database. 
 

Graph databases are a type of database that are designed to store and query data in the form of a graph.

Graph databases are becoming more popular as the need for more sophisticated data analysis grows. There are many benefits to using a graph database, including the ability to easily find patterns and relationships in data.
