Overview of the plans for integrating Neo4j and Tableau for visual analytics.

1. Neo4j + Tableau
Visual Analytics

2. What is Tableau?
"Visual Analytics for Everyone"

3. But, but... those aren't graphs!

4. So why is this a good idea?
• Tableau is a market leader for Business Intelligence *
• Super easy to use for "normal" users
• Sometimes, tables are a useful way to look at graphs

5. (neo4j) --> (tableau)
3 ways

6. Using a Web Data Connector
(neo4j)-[WDC]->(tableau)
:Desktop
:TableauExport
Extension
1) GET /WDC
2) POST {query}

7. (neo4j)-[export]->(tableau)
TDE Export from Neo4j
:Desktop
:TableauExport
Extension
1) POST {query}
:TDE
2) generate
:Web
Browser
3) open

8. :Desktop
:TableauExport
Extension
1) POST {query}
2) publish
:Web

3) open
:Server
(neo4j)-[publish]->(tableau)

9. What's the plan?
• Beta releases by the end of the year
• Limited to queries which return primitive values
• For graphy stuff, return calculated values
• path lengths, node degrees
• Some day, Tableau will learn about graph-graphs
• Node, Relationships, Paths, Subgraphs
