We believe graph databases could make a big difference when used in key areas where traditionally CMSs would fail: Explore large non-uniform datasets: Neo4j got a lot of attention after it was used by investigative journalists to identify the organisations and individuals involved in offshore tax evasion in the Panama papers leak. Recommend content: Media companies like the Financial Times are using Neo4j to display related content on their website, this helps them to increase engagement with higher clickthrough rates. Personalisation: Addidas uses the Neo4j graph database to create it’s internal metadata service, offering access and searchability to their data and making sense of complex interdependencies and relationships.

We've created a basic integration that makes it possible for non-developers to work with Neo4j. Combined with Drupal’s content modelling capabilities we believe it could be a powerful tool for people to explore graph databases using a GUI. There is also a case to be made for the use of graph databases in the Drupal ecosystem: sites that already use Drupal could benefit from its capabilities.
