TechSeen discusses native vs non-native graph databases bylined by Jim Webber, Chief Scientist of Neo4j. As the graph database industry grows in popularity, more organizations are recognizing the value of connected data and are investigating new ways to become a connected enterprise. In this article, Jim discusses the key attributes of graph database: integrity, performance, efficiency and scalability. An excerpt:
