Tool for Graph Schema Creation

[Yeikel]

Dear Community,

Is there any tool that you recomend to build graph schemas visually?

We're currently using Power Point and it is definitely not ideal. It would be great to be able to export the schema in gremlin after editing it.

We're targeting Dse graph.

Thank you!

The graph database community is a bit light on tools right now. Most tooling at this point seems to revolve around query development and visualization. I guess that part of the problem is the lack of standardization around schema. Every graph database has its own schema language (if it supports schema at all) so the generation of code to produce the schema would end up binding the tool quite tightly to the target database. It is still early but I think we're slowly moving toward some form of standardization there at which point I'd imagine more tools would become available. Of course, that doesn't help you much today. For now, I think that you're largely stuck using tools like powerpoint with a graphical layout and then hand writing the schema scripts as needed.

Indeed. I have been pretty heavy into property graph schemas for a while now, and I don't know of a good UI for editing them. There are plenty of tools you can use for visualizing a schema, but none that are particularly good for authoring. If there were, I would be using them, and trying to get others to use them at Uber. Gra.fo is possibly the next best thing to a property graph schema editor right now. Conversations have been had about adding support for APG-style schemas to Gra.fo, but it doesn't look like this will happen soon.

That said, if you don't actually need a UI, I am preparing to release a tool called Dragon which will help you work with graph schemas, validate them, combine them, and transform them to/from a variety of formats.
