What do you do when a new colleague starts to talk to you about how they would love to experiment with getting a dataset about Romeo & Juliet into a graph? Yes, that's right, you get your graph boots on, and you start looking out for a great dataset that you could play around with. And as usual, one things leads to another (it's all connected, remember!), and you end up with this incredible experiment that twists, turns and meanders into something fascinating. That's what happened here too.
Finding a Data source
That was so easy. I very quickly located a Dataset on Kaggle that I thought would be really interesting. It's a comma-separated file, about 110k lines long and 10MB in size, that holds all the lines that Shakespeare wrote for his plays. It's just an amazing dataset - not too complicated, but terribly interesting.
The structure of the file has the following File headers:
| Dataline | Play | PlayerLinenumber | ActSceneLine | Player | PlayerLine |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| abc | def | ghi | jkl | mno | pqr |
Of course you can find the dataset on Kaggle yourself, but I actually quickly imported it into a google sheet version that you can access as well. This gsheet is shared and made public on the internet, and can then be downloaded as a csv at any time from this URL. This URL is what we will use for importing this data into Neo4j.
