Abstract

In recent years, graph database systems have become very popular and been deployed mainly in situations where the relationship between data is significant, such as in social networks. Although they do not require a particular schema design, a data model contributes to their consistency. Designing diagrams is an approach to satisfying this demand for a conceptual data model. While researchers and companies have been developing concepts and notations for graph database modeling, their notations focus on their specific implementations. In this article, the authors propose a diagram to address this lack of a generic and comprehensive notation for graph databases modeling, named GRAPHED (Graph Description Diagram for Graph Databases). The authors verified the effectiveness and compatibility of GRAPHED in two case studies: fraud identification, and a biological network model.
