Re: [Neo4j] General help - new to know how to set up this db in Neo4j

Lisa,

Firstly, Neo has great modelling affinity, so you can literally model your understanding directly.

Secondly, try this cool tool: http://console.neo4j.org/r/8f3gou - you can quickly create examples and share them

I guess it comes down to the kind of query you want to write - you need your model to answer questions, so start with those as use cases perhaps?

Hi all,

Today I was looking for a solution oh how to store a graph I will be creating in a database and happened upon Neo4j, it seems very interesting,

I am a python user mostly, so I will be using the python embedded version.  However looking through the documentation there is I am not

sure how to set up this graph.....

I have a set of adjectives (a1, a2, a3, a4) and a set up of nouns (n1,n2,n3,n4),  the adjectives modify the nouns (that would be a relationship) and multiple adjectives can connect to a noun.  The connection between the adjectives and nouns also has two attributes (pmi_score and metaphor_score) these attributes exist only between one noun and adjective connection, each noun and adjective connection will have a unique form of these attributes.  How do you suggest I create this???

Thanks, sorry this is vague, I am just starting, and was hoping to get your expertise so I can get started quickly.

Thanks,

Lisa,

Sounds pretty straight forward:

Create unique noun nodes (noun_index, using the key "word", and value <the actual word> for uniqueness)

Create unique adjective nodes (adjective_index, using the key "word", and value <the actual word> for uniqueness)

Create unique "modified_by" relationships between them.  (modified_by_index, using the key "adjective_noun" and the value "adjective.neo_id + "_" + noun.neo_id [or you can use the actual words instead of ids, up to you]).  Put your pmi_score and metaphor_score on the relationship.

Regards,

Max
