Neo4j framework for querying space and time

Primary LanguageJava

Continuum

Neo4j framework for querying both space and time. This is a POC right now. The framework exposes an API to insert objects that are searchable by both life time and space. It is built on top of Spatial and TimeTree.

Example use-case

Given a set of data about music composers, writers and painters, the framework can be used to answer questions such as:

  • retrieve all painters that lived in London during 1800 - 1850
  • give me the city with the most painters in the 1850s
  • compute the total number of plays written during the 1920s

Things to do:

  • write more tests
  • write tests for querying space with other structures than the Envelope
  • write benchmarks
  • build example website: import Wikipedia data, create angular client
