Welcome to This Week in Neo4j, your weekly fix for news from the world of graph databases!
Last week, we celebrated the publication of ISO GQL and we announced the Call for Papers for NODES 2024. I couldn’t even feature the latter one in last week’s edition, so we will take a proper look at that this week.
Additionally, we have Data Modelling for RAG Applications, Neo4j Event Calendar and creating Knowledge Graphs from Crime data.
I added a few more links for Graph Database Beginners, including how to learn using aggregates with Cypher.
Join our Neo4j Research panel! Sign up to share your experiences with a researcher and influence the future of Neo4j products.
What’s in it for you? A chance to connect directly with product development teams, get paid compensation, hear about what we are working on, and more!

NODES 2024: Call for Papers is open
NODES, the premier developer conference dedicated to graph-powered applications and contextual AI, returns for its sixth year on November 7, 2024. Yolande Poirier summarises the most important bits in this blog post. The Call for Papers is open and we invite you to submit your stories!DATA MODELLING: Graph Data Models for RAG Applications
When building a retrieval augmented generation (RAG) application, it can be tempting to dump your documents in either a vector or graph database, generate some embeddings, and start running cosine similarity. In this article by Alex Gilmore, you get to see a few alternative graph data models that can be used to enhance these applications and the unique benefits each model provides.EVENTS: Neo4j on Lu.Ma
We have a Neo4j calendar on Lu.Ma, where you can find our upcoming Meetups and livestream in one place. Subscribe to the calendar to get notifications – so you don’t miss the next graph event happening in your region.KNOWLEDGE GRAPH: Extraction of unstructured data to generate crime knowledge graphs: Past, Present & Future
An interdisciplinary research study combining generative AI, NLP – natural language processing, criminology, and graph database. In this article, Deepa Venkatraman summarises what has been presented in a talk at NODES 2023.TWEET OF THE WEEK: Philip Rathle
