Author Description

This book is designed to walk you through the graph data modeling. You will be introduced to the basic process of designing a graph data model that can answer a wide range of business questions across a variety of domains. Anyone can do basic data modeling, and with the advent of graph database technology, matching your data to a coherent model is easier than ever.Data modeling is an abstraction process. You start with your business and user needs (i.e., what you want your application to do). Then, in the modeling process you map those needs into a structure for storing and organizing your data. Every data model is unique, depending on the use case and the types of questions that users need to answer with the data. Because of this, there is no "one-size-fits-all" approach to data modeling. Using best practices and careful modeling will provide the most valuable result in producing an accurate data model that benefits your processes and use case. This book is simply the introduction to data modeling using a simple, straightforward scenario. There are plenty of opportunities throughout the upcoming guides to practice modeling domains and analyzing changes to the model that might need to be made. Simply In Depth..........
