Quick takeaways

  • RDF uses triples and ontologies for structured data representation, making it ideal for integration across various datasets like finance and healthcare.
  • Property graphs offer flexibility with dynamic schemas, making them suitable for complex analyses such as fraud detection and customizing solutions.

Deep dives

Understanding RDF and Property Graphs

RDF (Resource Description Framework) and property graphs represent two primary approaches for managing connected data as graphs. RDF focuses on using triples, which consist of a subject, predicate, and object, and is commonly stored in triple stores with SPARQL as the query language. In contrast, property graphs use nodes and relationships, each capable of holding properties, and are typically queried using languages like GQL. Both models prioritize the structural features of data, enabling different types of analyses, but they diverge significantly in their implementation and terminology.
