Overview
Graph models are different to the relational model used in relational databases. Unlike relational databases, which store data in tables with columns and rows, a graph database focuses on the relationships between connected data elements. Graph databases are mostly based on a label-property graph data model, suitable for data models that require frequent changes. The most popular graph query languages are Cypher and SPARQL. By using a graph database to store knowledge graphs and utilize graph analytics, organizations can discover patterns and relationships that are difficult to detect with a traditional relational database. This uncovers new insights that can be used to enhance the customer experience, improve fraud detection and prevention, and optimize supply chain and logistics.
