big data and graphs

The volume of data is growing. Perhaps faster than we can grasp. Semi-structure data is increasing. It is messy. It is data that doesn't fit into a one-size-fits-all environment. Increased semi-structure and increased data volume are items we must contend with. The more data we collect, the more likely it is going to be semi-structured.

One way to help in organizing data is through a graph database. Graphs are a new way of thinking for explicitly modeling the factors that make today’s big data so complex: Semi-structure and connectedness.
