Graph Data Modeling in Python

Learn how to transform, store, evolve, refactor, model, and create graph projections using the Python programming language Purchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBook Key Features Transform relational data models into graph data model while learning key applications along the way Discover common challenges in graph modeling and analysis, and learn how to overcome them Practice real-world use cases of community detection, knowledge graph, and recommendation network Book DescriptionGraphs have become increasingly integral to powering the products and services we use in our daily lives, driving social media, online shopping recommendations, and even fraud detection. With this book, youll see how a good graph data model can help enhance efficiency and unlock hidden insights through complex network analysis. Graph Data Modeling in Python will guide you through designing, implementing, and harnessing a variety of graph data models using the popular open source Python libraries NetworkX and igraph. Following practical use cases and examples, youll find out how to design optimal graph models capable of supporting a wide range of queries and features. Moreover, youll seamlessly transition from traditional relational databases and tabular data to the dynamic world of graph data structures that allow powerful, path-based analyses. As well as learning how to manage a persistent graph database using Neo4j, youll also get to grips with adapting your network model to evolving data requirements. By the end of this book, youll be able to transform tabular data into powerful graph data models. In essence, youll build your knowledge from beginner to advanced-level practitioner in no time.What you will learn Design graph data models and master schema design best practices Work with the NetworkX and igraph frameworks in Python Store, query, ingest, and refactor graph data Store your graphs in memory with Neo4j Build and work with projections and put them into practice Refactor schemas and learn tactics for managing an evolved graph data model Who this book is forIf you are a data analyst or database developer interested in learning graph databases and how to curate and extract data from them, this is the book for you. It is also beneficial for data scientists and Python developers looking to get started with graph data modeling. Although knowledge of Python is assumed, no prior experience in graph data modeling theory and techniques is required.
