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 ex ..read more

GQL is Here: Your Cypher Queries in a GQL World

After several years of work, the GQL standard has been published. The path started by ISO in September 2019 hit its last major milestone in March 2024, with unanimous approval of the Final Draft International Standard (FDIS) ballot for GQL. This is a very exciting moment for everyone involved with graph databases. SQL is no longer the only ISO standard for database query languages: it now has a younger (and better-looking) sibling. Two initial questions will likely spring to mind for any graph database practitioner. The first question is easy to answer: no, GQL has nothing to do with GraphQ ..read more

A joint letter to graph customers, the graph curious, and the Cypher community: Last week, the database world reached a significant milestone. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) published GQL, a new database language standard designed for property graphs. GQL, which stands for Graph Query Language, is the first new ISO database language since the introduction of SQL in 1987. This milestone has been eagerly anticipated by the graph community for many years, with many companies, including Neo4j and Amazon, actively advocating and contributing to its development.

What Is Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)?

Engaging in a conversation with a company’s AI assistant can be frustrating. Chatbots give themselves away by returning generic responses that often don’t answer the question. This doesn’t have to be the case. Imagine a different scenario: interacting with a chatbot that provides detailed, precise responses. This chatbot sounds like a human with deep institutional knowledge about the company and its products and policies. This chatbot is actually helpful. The second scenario is possible through a machine-learning approach called Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). RAG is a technique that ..read more

ISO GQL: A Defining Moment in the History of Database Innovation
The Neo4j Blog
by Enzo
2w ago
Last Friday, ISO published a new database query language: ISO GQL. It’s a peer language to SQL and the first new ISO database language since 1987 — when the first version of SQL was released. This is a really big deal. The GQL standard is for and about graphs. Graphs are a way of working with data that you already have. They excel with exactly the type of data that the world is creating more of, building applications around, and increasingly finding ourselves needing to analyze and make sense of. Example of a graph visualization Database management systems (DBMSs) that work with your dat ..read more
