Register Graph Databases have many use cases in many industries, but one of the most interesting ones that are emerging is in the Gaming industry. Because of its real-time nature, games are a perfect environment to make use of graph-based queries that are the basis for in-game recommendations. These recommendations make games more interesting for the users (they get to play cooler games with other people in their area, of their level, sharing their social network profile, etc) but also more profitable for the game providers, developers and publishers. After all: the latter want to be recommending specific games to specific target audiences, and thereby maximising their potential revenues.

Event Info Note: please register on the SkillsMatter site for this event as well so that we can guarantee speedy access to the venue when you get there... In this talk we'll explore powerful analytic techniques for graph data. Firstly we'll discover some of the innate properties of (social) graphs from fields like anthropology and sociology. By understanding the forces and tensions within the graph structure and applying some graph theory, we'll be able to predict how the graph will evolve over time. To test just how powerful and accurate graph theory is, we'll also be able to (retrospectively) predict World War 1 based on a social graph and a few simple mechanical rules. Then we'll see how graph matching can be used to extract online business intelligence (for powerful retail recommendations). In turn we'll apply these powerful techniques to modelling domains in Neo4j (a graph database) and show how Neo4j can be used to drive business intelligence. Don't worry, there won't be much maths :-) This meetup will be presented to us by Dr. Jim Webber, Chief Scientist at Neo Technology.

Event Info This webinar is intended to demonstrate how the OpenTree of Life project is using graph databases and neo4j to help construct the tree of life. The tree of life includes millions of species, living and extinct, and we are poised to build a draft of what the current state of knowledge is. Our project is building the tools with which scientists in the community can continually improve the tree of life as we gather new information. Neo4j allows us to not only store trees in their native graph form, but also allows us to map trees to the same structure, the graph. So in fact, we are facilitating the construction of the graph of life.

Event Info Chris Russell will be giving a talk on his encapsulate project as well as the schema html5 application, details are shown below: Encapsule Project: The goal of this effort is to create an open source ecosystem of easily discoverable, easily re-usable, software intellectual property encapsulated in JSON-encoded Soft Circuit Description Language (SCDL). SCDL represents encapsulated software IP using dataflow models (directed graphs essentially). SCDL is an object model where objects represent chunks of "virtual circuitry". SCDL models can be interpreted or compiled to executable runtime code. SCDL objects may be composed via object containment and various object linking relationships to model large software systems. SCDL "specifications" (a specific type of SCDL object) represent a large system. SCDL "specifications" are transformed to runtime code. This process can involve transformation, interpretation, compilation... The point is that SCDL specifications are executable, or can be generically transformed into something that is executable. SCDL is intended to be 100% portable: No inherent coupling to hardware No inherent dependency on any operating system No inherent dependency on any programming programming language

Event Info Life is a graph - Connect your data with Neo4j Peter Bell Databases with only one relationship type and no ability to add properties to their relationships are square, not relational (I’m looking at you, postgres). In this session we’ll look at a truly relational database – neo4j. We’ll look at what it is, why you’d want to use it and how it changes your data modeling and development process when you start using graph databases. Whether you’re coding social apps or just want to manage a web of things, learn how neo4j can change the way you think about storing your data.

Event Info Neo4j is a JVM-based NOSQL database. As the leading graph database, its model is intuitive and expressive, mapping closely to your whiteboard domain model. For highly connected data, Neo4j is thousands of times faster than relational databases, making it ideal for managing complex data across many domains, from finance to social, telecoms to geospatial. This tutorial covers the core functionality of the Neo4j graph database.

Event Info GraphConnect is coming to Boston!: http://www.graphconnect.com/ Hopefully you can make it to the conference. If not, come to the Community Meetup Party anyway! Have a drink and mingle with other graphistas.

Event Info GraphConnect 2013 is the graph database conference, joining together graph enthusiasts, technologists, and developers, as they explore new ideas and share innovations in graph technology. This year, find out why Boston is the Hub of the Graph Universe.

Event Info Graph databases like Neo4j are a powerful member of the NOSQL family. For highly connected data, Neo4j can be thousands of times faster than relational databases, making it popular for managing complex data across many domains from finance to social, and telecoms to geospatial. This hands-on workshop covers the core functionality from the Neo4j graph database, providing a mixture of theory and accompanying practical sessions to demonstrate the capabilities of graph data and the Neo4j database. Specifically attendees will learn about: NoSQL and Graph Database overview, Neo4j Fundamentals and Architecture, The Neo4j Core API, Indexing, Neo4j Traverser APIs, Declarative querying with Cypher, Solutions architecture. Each session (apart from the fundamentals and architecture) will be a mixture of a small amount of theory combined with a set of practical exercises designed to reinforce how to achieve sophisticated goals with Neo4j. The practical parts of the tutorial consist of Koan-style lessons where a specific aspect of the Neo4j stack is presented as a set of failing unit tests which attendees will fix, gradually becoming more challenging until the attendees are capable of implementing sophisticated graph operations against Neo4j. Attendees won't need any previous experience with Neo4j or NOSQL databases, but will require some fluency in Java, a little familiarity with a modern IDE, and a basic understanding of JUnit to help complete the lab tasks.

Event Info Graphs are getting a lot of new attention, as part of the industry’s drive for NO-SQL, big data (whatever that means) and data science. Today however, we feel that’s only the “lucky few” that have seen the light and are experimenting with Graphs and Graph databases. And we want to spread the word - make this the biggest thing since hot water, sliced bread, and tables/stools. So here’s the idea: on 11th of June 2013, we want to get all graphistas together for a fun and exciting evening of graphs - and beer. The concept is that of a “Knowledge Cafe”, where we put a bunch of tables in a nice venue, and have lightning talks every 15 minutes to spice up the conversations. We would do it in a nice location: Brouwerij De Prael in downtown Amsterdam - just so that we can benefit of some beer tastings as well :) … What could YOU do for this event? Well, we have a couple of ideas! - you could come! Everyone is welcome, provided that they register beforehand. - you could host a knowledge table, to discuss and explain to other people what you have been doing with graphs - you could do a lightning talk - no more than 5 minutes, 5 slides! - you could - and this is the important part - bring your friends and colleagues. If you do, we will have a nice little something for you to remember the night by - just as a token of appreciation. Let us know if you have any other ideas - would love to have you there!

Sandwiches and drinks will be served. About the speakers Historyline Knowledge first becomes really interesting when looking at it in agreater perspective. Although historic events happen over time and are interrelated it has not been possible to observe and research them this way. With traditional historic sites and encyclopedias, historic events has to be queried one at a time, and to explore them you must read in-depth articles. Due to the format, relationships and dependencies to other historic events are typically not clear and often diminished to links where you can read more. Historyline is a graphical timeline of history. The timeline shows events in the order they happened and makes it possible also to include other historic events happening at the same time that could be affecting each other. Neo Technology Graphs are everywhere. From websites adding social capabilities to Telco’s providing personalized customer services to innovative bioinformatics research, organizations are adopting graph databases as the best way to model and query connected data. Neo Technology researchers have pioneered graph databases since 2000 and have been instrumental in bringing the power of the graph to numerous organizations worldwide, including 25 Global 2000 customers, such as Cisco, HP, Accenture, Deutsche Telekom, and Telenor. Serving customers in production for over a decade, Neo4j is the world’s leading graph database with the largest ecosystem of partners and tens of thousands of successful deployments. Ozma Games Ozma develops beautiful, playful and creative games and apps for tablets.

Event Info It has been a while since we created the last buzz on Neo4j India. But that's because we had been planning an exciting set of events with the Neo4j team! Here's announcing the first meetup when we get a chance to meet Andreas Kollegger, one of the core engineering members of Neo4j. Let's meet over graphs, pizzas and some beer! Andreas' Bio: With NASA, for the love of technology. Then Zambia, using technology for social good. Now with Neo4j, making the world a better place from a graph perspective. Andreas has been part of the Neo4j community since having his own graph epiphany while working on medical informatics in Zambia. He joined as an early member of core engineering, and has now taken on the role of Product Experience Designer, responsible for maturing that fantastic codebase into an industrial strength product.

Event Info Spring Data Neo4j in its 2.x version is a mature implementation of an object graph mapping framework, that both closely integrates with the Spring Framework and also offers unique modeling and querying opportunities by having chosen the property graph data model. This talk presents how several Neo Technology customers already put Spring Data Neo4j into production. They stem from a variety of domains – gaming, server center monitoring, education, appliance management, energy market simulation and more. Based on those use-cases we discuss how to implement real-world applications with Spring Data Neo4j and the Spring Framework. First we want to discuss the business problems they had to solve and why a graph database was a good fit for them. After a quick intro to Spring Data Neo4j and Neo4j, we will talk about modeling choices and the benefits and implications of choosing a rich data model. We'll follow the example domains into code, from annotated domain entities, to the usage of the powerful repository abstractions. Showing how to use Neo4jTemplate to implement some lower level functionality will round off the core library usage. Building on this, we look into the integration aspects, how Spring Data Neo4j can be combined with other Spring projects, like Spring Data MongoDB, Spring Data REST, and Spring Batch. A quick demonstration shows on how to access Spring Data Neo4j from the (Web)-UI layer. The talk will close of with a glimpse into the future: Neo4j added some very interesting features in its 2.0 release. From node labels, automatic indexes and constraints to a transactional http endpoint for Cypher. These changes make it possible to rethink some aspects of Spring Data Neo4j, like type representation and indexing. But also some bigger ideas for changes ahead like basing the object graph mapping completely on Neo4j's Cypher Graph Query Language will be touched.
