GraphXR is Coming: Visualizing Game of Thrones
Hosted by Graph Database - Online
Details
Game of Thrones has generated a wealth of data. Who belongs to which house, who do they kill or get killed by, which relative starts a war to avenge that death, leading to a climactic battle in which episode, aired on what date and watched by how many viewers?
It's a perfect graph problem, but the data resides in tables, in text, and in video. In this demo, we'll show you how GraphXR can be used to wrangle that data, model it, create a rich visualization, and save it back to Neo4j.
(SPOILER ALERT)
And All in less time than it takes Jon Snow to send a message to Daenerys from beyond the wall so she can rescue him from an undead army!
