Hi everyone,
We'd like to introduce and make an initial beta release of this system we've been developing at the University of Maryland called GraphGen, which is geared towards efficiently extracting graphs from relational databases (currently only PostgreSQL). With GraphGen, users can use a declarative query language we've designed in order to define graphs that exist inside their relational datasets and load them into memory. Although GraphGen is natively written in Java, we've also written a wrapper python library called graphgenpy which calls our tool and simply returns a serialized (.gml) version of the specified graph, which can then automatically be parsed into NetworkX and then analyzed!
To download the initial release graphgen and for more information, demos, example code you can run, and tutorials please visit http://konstantinosx.github.io/graphgen-project/. I'd love to know of any datasets anyone finds use for graphgen on. Also, please feel free to contact me with any questions, suggestions, feedback as well as to submit any bug reports as issues.
Thank you,
Konstantinos Xirogiannopoulos
