The clever ones are the ones that don’t usually get caught,” said Marius Hartmann, Chief Advisor, Danish Business Authority.The best time to stop a fraudulent business is at the very beginning, when the business registers with the government. That’s the role of the Danish Business Authority, where the team uses graph data science to predict fraud and stores detailed data about every decision ... Read More

Feed: Neo4j Graph Database Platform. Author: Jocelyn Hoppa. Graph databases are the fastest growing database technology. Some people are drawn to graph databases for technical or performance reasons; others become interested because of the intuitive data model. One thing is clear: Graphs represent a departure from the relational and NoSQL models, but this departure is inherently worthwhile.Graph Databases For Dummies, Neo4j Special Edition is all about getting started with graph databases. We remember what it was like for us learning about Neo4j and graphs, and thought hard about the book we would have liked back then. With this book, we ... Read More
