Anthony Chiboucas – This Week’s Featured Community Member

This week’s featured community member is Anthony Chiboucas. Tony is a savvy, experienced PHP developer who lives and works in Portland, Oregon as a CMS developer at Downstream. For the last three years, he has also been working on a graph-enabled middleware solution to connect artists, places, events, and genres throughout all of history for museums and arts exhibitions. That is, he has created a federated graph database of all arts for interactive museum exhibits.

He’s been in love with graphs, Cypher, and Neo4j since starting that project and has not looked back. He joined the Neo4j Community in 2019 and is active as a Neo4j Ninja in the Community Forum, Discord, Slack, and StackOverflow. Tony enjoys answering many questions in our Neo4j Discord Chat in almost all categories from Cypher to GDS and App development. If you want to see Tony live, check out the recording of the Pre-NODES Show with Alex and Lju, which features a lot of interesting guests from the Neo4j Community.

Liquigraph is a database refactoring tool. It helps you maintain your Neo4j database state by defining and incrementally executing migrations. Florent Biville, a Neo4j engineer, is the creator of liquigraph. He published a tool that will help you migrate from liquigraph to liquibase. If you are using liquibase, please consider helping him test this plugin.

GraphAware and Breadcrumbs have teamed up to produce a Neo4j graph that helps users by visualizing blockchain data. The application they developed crunches 6 billion crypto transactions and organizes it in a way that their Breadcrumb tools can update and show data in a matter of seconds.

The folks at Osinto provide knowledge graph subscriptions to help you understand data around aviation and drones. Their knowledge graphs are implemented with Neo4j on AWS. In addition, they have Cloud Empire, their graph intelligence product that enables you to provide market insights, even with your own data. In this demo, Charles Osborne shows us how to explore the connections in a 3D graph visualization. You can also try it yourself.

Jennifer Reif wrote an article about how she imported data for Java libraries through version 17. She describes how she loaded and modeled the data so that questions could be answered about the differences between Java versions.

She used the data in the graph and Cypher to answer questions like these:
