Session: Highly Connected Data Models in NOSQL Stores

Wednesday 10.00 - 10.50
Room: Nyan Cat

In this session, we'll talk about the key ideas of NOSQL databases, including motivating similarities and more importantly their different strengths and weaknesses. In more depth, we'll focus on using Neo4j for managing and querying connected data. To reinforce how useful graph stores are, we provide a rapid, code-focussed example using Neo4j covering the basics of graphs, and the APIs for manipulating and traversing graphs. We'll then use this knowledge to explore the Doctor Who universe for fun and an e-commerce application for profit, using Neo4j to infer useful knowledge from connected, semi-structured data. We conclude with a discussion of when different kinds of NOSQL stores are most appropriate the enterprise.
