The Feast of Graphs

A tutorial series on knowledge graph analytics with Memgraph

You've ingested your data into a graph. Now it's time to actually use it.

This series takes you from "what is this?" to "I can derive new knowledge from structure alone."

What You'll Learn

This six-part series takes you from "what is this?" to "I can derive new knowledge from structure alone." By the end, you'll be able to:

  • Navigate a knowledge graph with confidence
  • Write Cypher queries that find what you need
  • Trace multi-hop paths through connected concepts
  • Measure importance with centrality algorithms
  • Discover hidden communities in your data
  • Forge new rules from graph structure

The Data

All examples use real data from a software design textbook:

  • ~400 concepts extracted from Chapter 5 on implementation hiding
  • ~25 relationships showing how concepts connect (REQUIRES, SUPPORTS, etc.)
  • 7 explicit rules about encapsulation, properties, and information hiding

Prerequisites

Before starting, ensure you have:

  1. Memgraph running: qortex infra up
  2. Data ingested: qortex ingest your-chapter.txt --domain your_domain
  3. Memgraph Lab open: http://localhost:3000

The Journey

Part Title What You'll Master
1 Welcome to the Hall Orientation, first queries, seeing the shape
2 The Tongue of Queries Cypher patterns, filtering, aggregation
3 Following the Thread Variable-length paths, shortest paths
4 Measuring Worth Degree centrality, PageRank
5 The Tribes Within Community detection, clustering
6 Forging New Rules Rule derivation from structure
