This graph gist maps character aliases, locations, professions, and objects in Flannery O’Connor’s “The Life You Save May Be Your Own,” showing how names like “Tom T. Shiflet” connect to multiple false identities and regional towns. The visualization uses a Neo4J graph database with Cypher `CREATE` statements to define nodes and relationships such as `:AKA`, `:FROM`, and `:WAS_MARRIED_TO`. It demonstrates graph-structured literary analysis, relying on the explicit node labels and directed relationship types to reveal narrative networks.

Flannery O'Connor

This network diagram maps the recipients of Flannery O’Connor’s correspondence in 1950, using Neo4j’s Cypher query language to select nodes and create a `To` relationship from a letter dated that year to writer Brainerd Chaney. The visualization renders the resulting graph with the `d3.forceSimulation` layout, pulling connected names together while repelling disconnected ones. Data originates from a gist of O’Connor’s letters, with nodes labeled by correspondent and edges weighted by letter count. The interactive view allows hovering to highlight direct connections.

Script for Semantic Web Video

This example visualizes the narrative structure of Flannery O’Connor’s short story *The Life You Save May Be Your Own* as a network of character, location, and thematic nodes. It shows how aliases and descriptive motifs—such as grey, sparks, and blue—link across the text to reveal latent connections. The script uses `d3.forceSimulation` to position the nodes and render edges between them, drawing from a manually curated dataset of story elements. The animation highlights the growing complexity of interconnections as the graph expands.

Graph Gist

This example demonstrates a simple graph visualization of two people and their database preferences. It shows nodes for "You" and "They," each linked via a `LIKE` relationship to database nodes representing Neo4j and eXistDB. The data comes from a Cypher query that creates the graph structure, and the visualization renders it using the D3.js library with a force-directed layout. Specifically, `d3.forceSimulation` drives node positioning, while SVG elements for circles and lines represent entities and relationships. The graph is rendered as an interactive network, highlighting the connections between the person nodes and their chosen database technologies.

Graph Gist

This example shows a small graph of people and their database preferences, capturing two `Person` nodes connected by `LIKE` relationships to database nodes labeled `Database`, `NoSql`, and `Graph`. The visualization renders this graph data using D3.js, likely with a force-directed layout (`d3.forceSimulation`) to position nodes and links, and possibly `d3.geoPath` or standard SVG/CSS for shapes and labels. The source code, authored by CliffordAnderson and stored as a Gist, explicitly creates the nodes and relationships with Cypher, returning them for immediate display. The result emphasizes how graph structures and their labels can be directly mapped from query output to interactive visual elements.

Gist a55b95a43d04067df4c11d576bed3c42

This example demonstrates a graph database model for scholarly communications in theology, showing relationships between academic institutions, faculty, and the American Theological Library Association (ATLA). Built with Neo4j's Cypher query language, the visualization renders the schema and sample data as an interactive network graph. Using Neo4j's built-in graph visualization features, the code displays nodes for institutions like Princeton Theological Seminary and Drew University, connected by membership edges to the ATLA hub, while also including a faculty node for Clifford B. Anderson.

Suellen's "Nabokov in America" Graph Gist

Suellen's "Nabokov in America" graph gist maps the literary and personal influences surrounding Vladimir Nabokov, showing who wrote, influenced, or studied which works. It demonstrates a network of people, books, films, and quotes, revealing connections like students of Nabokov and their own writings. The visualization is built with Cypher queries on a Neo4j graph database, executed in an AsciiDoc environment with embedded query results. The code uses `MATCH` and `RETURN` clauses to extract tables and graph results, presenting the data through the gist's rendering engine without external visualization libraries.

GraphML for Neo4j

This graph visualization maps academic works, authors, and categories from a theological library dataset, revealing relationships between publications and their contributors. The graph connects nodes representing books, authors, and subject categories, using directional edges to show authorship and classification. The implementation parses GraphML-formatted XML data and displays it through the Neo4j graph platform, leveraging the force-directed layout to position nodes and illustrate the network's structure. The visualization highlights recurring patterns, such as multiple authors associated with the same work and works appearing in several categories.

A learning exercise for Neo4j

This example shows a simple Neo4j graph of Roosevelt family genealogy, built for a classroom exercise. The graph models people as labeled nodes and relationships like marriages and births, using Cypher’s CREATE clauses to define the data. Students are prompted to expand the family tree and query it with MATCH statements to retrieve person names. The visualization relies on Neo4j’s native browser rendering and Cypher query results, with the initial dataset derived from the Roosevelt family Wikipedia page.
