FOR
GRAPH BASED DATA MODEL
 INTRODUCTION

• Graph like data is everywhere.

• advantages of graph models over
relational, OO or semistructured
models
• variety of graph-based data models
• on the Web: RDF, RDFS, SKOS, OWL,
GRDDL, RDFa, microformats, etc.
What is a Data Model?
 TYPES OF DATA MODELS
• Relational model .
• Network model.
• Hierarchial model.
• Object –oriented model.
• Object-relational model.
• Graph based data model.
 Graph model vs. Relational model
• Deficiencies of Relational Data Model

•Non-hierarchial.

•No support for user defined data-types

•Expensive join operations.

•Semantic integrity constraints are

enforced externally.
 Graph model vs. OO model


OO also uses (implicitly or explicitly)
graph definitions


However

OO views the world as objects.

Graph models the world as a network of
entities.
 Graph model vs. Semistructured
model

Schema describes (but doesn't limit)
the data.

This allows easier data exchange.

Schema continuously evolving.


Usually semistructured models are
represented by trees (although there
can be expressed cycles).
 What is a graph data model?


A data model where the data
(schema) is represented as a graph.


A data model where the operations
over data are graph transformations.


Semantic Integrity constraints.
 Why do we need graph models?

• Modular structure.
• Encapsulation.
• Inheritance.
• Ease of query processing.
• Maintenance.
Why do we need graph model?


Complex networks

Social networks (friendship, DBLP)


Information networks (Web, Wikipedia)


Technological networks (phone,
airports)


Biological networks (pathways, food
webs)
 Data structures


Relational model → attributes

Semantic models → abstractions

OO models → complex objects

Semistructured models →
composition relations

Graph models → connectivity among
entities
 Different graph models


Digraph such as GOOD, GMOD, G-
Log, Gram


Hypernode such as Simatic-XT, GGL


Hypergraph (nested labeled digraphs)
such as GROOVY
 Graph based data model
• Entire database is viewed as a
graph.
• Vertices represent occurrence of
each entity as well as some high
level abstraction of these
occurrences.
• Edges represent relationship
among entities.
Graph based data model
 Objective of the project
To provide a graphical user interface
for automation of the graph based
data model.
 Scope of the Work
• Design the GUI providing the user with
the interface for implementation of the
graph based data model.

• To implement the data structure of the

data model for effective storing of data.
 Design of GUI

Here the graph model contains:-

• PSG:-each node represented by a
“circle”.
• SSG:-few PSGS aggregated to form
higher level nodes and
represented by “rectangle”.
• Determinant.
• Edges
An Implementation
 Tool Functions
• PSG :-To represent the data elements.
• SSG :-To represent the entities.
• Edge :-To represent the relationship.
• Clear :- Clears the screen.
• Upgrade Level :- To represent the next
level of hierarchy.
