Welcome to the first blog in the business series of GraphAware blog! This series is designed for us non-techies out there. Personally, I was shocked when I found out how big and common knowledge graphs are and how often graph databases are used in today’s world - and I had first heard of them just a couple of months ago. So, for people like me, for marketers and non-tech people in business, I’ll try to open the door to the world of graphs, and their potential and take you through it step-by-step. It seems only appropriate that we start with...
This blog post is the first part in a series on Effective Graph Visualisations, showcasing features emerging from years of experience in the field.Virtual Relationships: What and Why?Unlike in other storages, graph databases are making indirect relationships evident and often more important than direct relationships.From a visualisation perspective, implicit relationships might not be so easy to discover as the amount of direct relationships will often be the first obstacle analysts will encounter when performing their job.To illustrate this obstacle, we will use a graph having the following schema:An analyst will be interested in figuring out which articles mention organisations of...
“Alright, could you please tell us a few benefits and drawbacks of working with microservices?” - starts the usual tech interview question, and the traditional answer often follows: “They’re smaller; therefore, they’re easier to develop and to troubleshoot. There’s better scaling control on parts of the system. They can be written in different programming languages. They can be deployed individually.”In this series of articles about microservices, we’ll go through the widespread notions of what it feels like to work with microservices. We’ll attempt to explain under what circumstances some - arguably a little blunt - misconceptions hold true. We’ll do...
Knowledge Graphs (KGs) have become one of the most powerful tools for modeling the relations between entities in various fields, from biotech to e-commerce, from intelligence and law enforcement to fintech. Starting from the first version proposed by Google in 2012, the capabilities of modern KGs have been employed across diverse applications, including search engines, chatbots, and recommendation systems.There is currently a twofold perspective that characterizes KGs. The first perspective focuses on knowledge representation, in which the graph is encoded as a collection of statements formalized using the Resource Description Framework (RDF) data model. Its goal is to standardize the...

Organisations do not suffer from a lack of data or qualified people who analyse it and draw conclusions but rather from the size of relevant data sets and the limited amount of time skilled people can spend on exploration and analysis. In this blog post we show how Hume Alerts can be used to solve this issue.But before we get started, I would like to take you to a very analog place, where, even without high speed internet, Alerts work.It is a sunny morning in early April in the North of Sweden, the air is cold and crisp. As I...
Not so long ago, our very own Luanne gave an amazing talk titled Maltaware: Discovering what to drink with Neo4j on Nodes2020. Luanne demonstrated the value of graphs, and why they are the perfect fit for recommendation engines with an example of a whisky recommendation engine. Let me quickly walk you through a summary of why graphs and recommendation engines go together so well.Recommendation engines are everywhere - they are used to suggest products you may like, people you may know, places you could enjoy traveling to, and more. Recommendation engines provide immense value to businesses as they improve user...
