2. The Problem
• How do we document an economic environment? It is
complex and at the same time dynamic with many nodes and
connections.
• How do we allow users to explore the environment from
different perspectives?
• What is not documented is difficult to communicate, learn and
make sense of.

3. Graph Database and Graph Computing
• A graph database is
a database that uses graph
structures with nodes,
edges, and properties to
represent and store data.
• Graph computing allows us
to traverse the graph and
process the relationships.

4. Who uses graph databases?
• Facebook – Social Graph
• LinkedIn – Social Graph
• Amazon – Social Graph
• Google – Hypergraph
• Twitter
• Foursquare
• Thomson Reuters

• Document and manage unstructured information from
disparate sources.

• Graph visualization provides another dimension for
researching the repository.
