Graph Databases in the Spotlight - DATAVERSITY

Graph databases are distinguished by relationships. Users can query, for example, the connections that relate a customer to an account that he or she owns, or how many degrees of separation exist between Kevin Bacon and Audrey Hepburn. Ontologies are a key underpinning, providing a data model to describe things in a database. Metadata and data quality matter so that appropriate conclusions are reached -- just which Audrey Hepburn are we talking about anyway? Donna Burbank, the Managing Director at Global Data Strategy, recently presented a webinar that discussed recent developments in graph databases, and the results of the of the survey conducted for the DATAVERSITY Trends in Data Architecture Report on which the topic was based.
