This Week in Neo4j – Semantic similarity metrics, Virtuoso SPARQL integration, Deep Graph Library


Hi everyone,

In this week’s video, Florent Biville builds out an Angular.js frontend for the Spring Data 6 application.

Jesús Barrasa computes similarity metrics of a taxonomy, Daniel Heward-Mills integrates Virtuoso and Neo4j, and Lju Lazarevic shows how to import and model a Retail Food Store dataset.

And finally, Kristof Neys integrates Neo4j and the Deep Graph Library

Cheers, Mark and the Developer Relations team

Building the frontend with Angular.js | Starting an application with SDN 6


Our video this week is from Florent Biville’s Starting an application with SDN 6 live stream.



In this episode, Florent builds out an Angular.js frontend that calls the API developed in previous episodes.

QuickGraph#18 Semantic similarity metrics in taxonomies


In Jesús Barrasa’s latest QuickGraph he shows how to make sense of the taxonomy around the Perseverance rover that recently landed on Mars.

After using n10s to import the dataset from MediaWiki, Jesús makes sense of the graph using similarity metrics that compute path structure, path depth, and common ancestry.

Neo4j & DGL — a seamless integration


Kristof Neys illustrates how to integrate a Graph Attention Network model using the Deep Graph Library into the Neo4j workflow and deploying the Neo4j Python driver.
