Working with Graph Data Models
This chapter will move you toward taking what you have learned hitherto and moving from a business problem through to how to obtain the data and then to getting that data graph ready. In this chapter, the aim is to teach you the fundamental skills needed to start working with graph data models at pace.
It will focus on many of the key skills to get up to speed with working with graph data models and many of the attributes of a graph structure. In the following sections, the aim will be to get you familiar with igraph and how to use it to ingest data into your graph.
From there, we'll move on to building your understanding of how to model nodes and edges in a graph. This will culminate in working on a use case to cement and reinforce what you will learn in this chapter.
The use case will touch on the key techniques needed to model a graph structure and what is meant by degree centrality.
In this chapter, we’re going to cover the...
