Popular use cases for graph data

[draggett]

The aim of making RDF easier for the next 33% of developers begs the question of what are the popular application use cases for graph data (as a generalisation of RDF)? Here are some examples taken from graph database vendor websites.

Neo4J:
• Recommendation engines for e-commerce
• Network and database monitoring
• Fraud detection and analytics
• Social media and social networks
• Knowledge graphs for enhanced search services
• Identity and access management
• Privacy, risk and compliance
• Master data management
• Artificial Intelligence and analytics

Amazon Neptune:
• Network/IT operations
• Social networking
• Recommendation engines
• Fraud detection
• Knowledge graphs
• Life sciences

I am sure that this is just a few examples from a much much larger set. How can we reach out and gather information on use cases across different sectors, and the associated challenges facing application developers where new standards would help?

• Intelligence/security (eg Palantir)
• Science knowledge graphs: for keeping the scientific record organized, for FAIR data and research, for open research, for new ways of tracking and analyzing the ever-exploding patent and publications domain, for recommendations, bibliometric analysis, etc (eg Microsoft Academic Graph, a great resource)
• Industry 4.0: complex engineering artefacts, maintenance info, parts databases (eg International Data Space, several auto makers, etc)
• Sensors
• Web of Things

I would like to learn more about the difference between neo4j and other knowledge graph platforms such as ontotext. I work specifically in clinical natural language processing but leverage various clinical ontologies. hWhat is the difference between the formats and can both provide semantic relationships?

[k00ni]

Could you be more precise what you mean with all these use cases?

Many of the given use cases are buzzwords or don't say anything. For instance, "Sensors" is not a use case. At best it describes an area of expertise which contains hardware and software. Or "Network and database monitoring": Does RDF provide network monitoring now?

I might anticipate what you mean with all these terms, but I am looking forward to a more detailed explanation of the terms used.
