Graph database

来源:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_database


From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In computing, a graph database is a database that uses graph structures with nodes, edges, and properties to represent and store data. A graph database is anystorage system that provides index-free adjacency.[1] This means that every element contains a directpointer to its adjacent elements and no index lookups are necessary. General graph databases that can store any graph are distinct from specialized graph databases such astriplestores and network databases.

Structure

Graph databases are based on graph theory. Graph databases employ nodes, properties, and edges.

Graph database

Nodes represent entities such as people, businesses, accounts, or any other item you might want to keep track of.

Properties are pertinent information that relate to nodes. For instance, if "Wikipedia" were one of the nodes, one might have it tied to properties such as "website", "reference material", or "word that starts with the letter 'w'", depending on which aspects of "Wikipedia" are pertinent to the particular database.

Edges are the lines that connect nodes to nodes or nodes to properties and they represent the relationship between the two. Most of the important information is really stored in the edges. Meaningful patterns emerge when one examines the connections and interconnections of nodes, properties, and edges.

Properties

Compared with relational databases, graph databases are often faster for associative data sets[citation needed], and map more directly to the structure of object-oriented applications. They can scale more naturally to large data sets as they do not typically require expensivejoin operations. As they depend less on a rigid schema, they are more suitable to manage ad hoc and changing data with evolving schemas. Conversely, relational databases are typically faster at performing the same operation on large numbers of data elements.

Graph databases are a powerful tool for graph-like queries, for example computing the shortest path between two nodes in the graph. Other graph-like queries can be performed over a graph database in a natural way (for example graph's diameter computations or community detection).
