#GraphCast: 8 Tips to Decide If Knowledge Graph Is Right for You

Welcome to this week’s #GraphCast – our series featuring what you might have missed in Neo4j media from the past fortnight.

Last time, our Managing Editor, Deb Cameron, revealed how graphs tackle complex problems.

This week, I want to share with you some tips to help you determine whether knowledge graph is right for you – from Ashleigh Faith’s amazing Knowledge Graph Playlist.



Ashleigh walks you through eight questions that you need to ask yourself before hopping on the knowledge graph trend:

• Do you have highly related data?
• How often do you join data?
• How much time/money/resources do you use doing it?
• What databases and data structures do you already have?
• How much does your staff know about graphs?
• Do you already have graph or graph-like data?
• Do you have any downstream systems that will use graph data?
• How will you maintain the data?
