Adapt a Neo4j teaching dataset

Advanced: assumes basic Python, tabular data, and graph queries. For a guided introduction, start with Your first graph.

Neo4j Graph Examples contains external teaching projects. Start with Your first graph if you have not yet created and queried a GraphForge graph. GraphForge v0.6.0 does not ship a loader for this collection.

Choose a small example

Read the selected project’s README, data files, license, and required Neo4j version or extensions. A teaching movie graph can help you learn relationships; it is not a representative research sample.

Identify which source records become nodes and which become relationships. Keep the original record identifiers and the source citation. Do not assume all projects in the collection share a license, format, or execution setup.

Adapt the data and queries

Use Graph construction for Python construction, or review and execute individual statements through forge.execute(). The Cypher reference describes GraphForge’s query surface. Neo4j-specific procedures, administration commands, and extensions are not automatically translated.

Read Cypher script handling before adapting an existing script. Do not discard constraints or failed statements and assume the remaining data is equivalent. Verify counts, source identifiers, and a few known relationships after construction.

For a complete supported example without adaptation, use the citation tutorial.
