These are interesting times. These are difficult times, but we can deal with it together, as a community, as a graph. So that's why we were super happy that, just as Belgium was going into lockdown last week, we were able to record another Graphistania podcast episode for you, talking about the world in general, but also covering some of the amazing graph use cases that drifted over our screens in the past month, in the This Week in Neo4j (TWIN4J) newsletter.
There were actually many things to talk about, in terms of fascinating graph use cases, and I will highlight only the most striking ones here.
Our friends at Kineviz did some really interesting and timely work on COVID-19 temporal and spatial data visualization. This stuff is really important to understand, as pandemic spreads clearly follow graph patterns. Read Connected if you are not convinced.
Worth highlighting: Bloodhound: Windows network penetration testing with Neo4j, had a new release that you might want to take a look at. If you are not familiar with Bloodhound yet, you may also want to check out my interview with the Bloodhound crew on this podcast a while back.
We published this fun little thing called a Neo4j Treasure Map - check it out!
Finally - we also have a a Winegraph! It's a great example of importing data from the web using Norconex.
Some interesting stuff on using Neo4j for Gene ID mapping: take a look!
Another examle of enriching graphs with Wikidata, from the one and only Mark Needham: look at Mark's blog over here!
Don't forget: we Introduced the Neo4j Graph Data Science plugin with examples from the "Graph Algorithms" book.
A really interesting tweet about a visualisation of the US Supreme court as a graph db... Would love to see more like that.
And for some fun: Pokégraph: Gotta Graph 'Em All!
Some important stuff: we did a great 4.0 webinar that is giving you a lot of info on what to expect in the new version of Neo4j.
There was a great update to NeoMap: Visualizing shortest paths with neomap ≥ 0.4.0 and the Neo4j Graph Data Science plugin.Those were the most important ones. So let's talk about these now - I am sure there's a lot of cool stuff here fore everyone!
