Neo4j 3.0 and the Graph of the Universe
Blog post from Neo4j
The Cosmic Web paper by the Barabasi Lab explores the concept of a graph database representing the universe, with galaxies as nodes and relationships between them. The authors describe three models for correlating galaxies: Fixed-Length Model, Varying-Length Model, and Nearest Neighbors Model, which provide varying degrees of accuracy in representing real-world constellations. The raw data is imported into Neo4j 3.0 using the LOAD CSV mechanism, allowing for visualization of the graphs in the browser. A test script demonstrates the performance of the Bolt binary protocol, retrieving all neighbourhood relationships in a single go. Additionally, the use of ngraph to load and layout 200k relationships without preparation results in a nice two-dimensional graph rendering of the cosmos.
