In this interview, Forrest Swope from UVA discusses how his team is using Neo4j's graph technology to move beyond relational databases and capture complex relationships in their data. They are exploring the challenges faced by community college students who transfer to public universities, with the goal of identifying key factors that contribute to success or struggle. The team believes that graph technology allows them to uncover meaningful relationships between entities, which is essential for solving complex problems like this one. Swope highlights the limitations of relational databases in handling complex relationships and the power of Neo4j's ability to answer questions without prior knowledge of what they will ask.
