Graph Database Modeling : 2nd Edition

~This book is designed to walk you through the Graph Data Modeling. You will be introduced to the basic process of designing a graph data model that can answer a wide range of business questions across a variety of domains.

Graph data modeling is the process in which a user describes an arbitrary domain as a connected graph of nodes and relationships with properties and labels. A graph data model is designed to answer questions in the form of Cypher queries and solve business and technical problems by organizing a data structure for the graph database. Anyone can do basic data modeling, and with the advent of graph database technology, matching your data to a coherent model is easier than ever. Data modeling is an abstraction process. You start with your business and user needs (i.e., what. Then, in the modeling process you map those needs into a structure for storing and organizing your data.

This book is simply the introduction to data modeling using a simple, straight forward scenario. There are plenty of opportunities throughout the upcoming guides to practice modeling domains and analyzing changes to the model that might need to be made.
