Abstract: Techniques herein visually construct and summarize property graphs. In an embodiment, a computer loads raw data tables and generates vertices and edges based on the data tables. Vertices may be disconnected or may be interconnected by edges based on foreign keys. In an embodiment, a junction vertex can be converted into a special edge that interconnects two other vertices. In an embodiment, a junction vertex can be converted into a self-directed edge that interconnects data within a single vertex. Filtration can be applied when loading raw tables and then adjusted after visual construction of vertices and edges.

Abstract: Techniques herein organize and display as branches the historical versions of filtrations of a property graph in a way that suits interactive exploration. In embodiments, a computer loads metadata that describes versions of filtration of a graph that contains vertices interconnected by edges. Based on the metadata, the computer displays, along a timeline, version indicators that each represents a respective historical version of filtration of the graph. The computer displays, responsive to receiving an interactive selection of a particular version indicator of the plurality of version indicators, a particular version of filtration of the graph that is represented by the particular version indicator. Subsequences of versions for the timeline may be organized as branches that may be interactively created and merged. Branching and merging are integrated into the general lifecycle of graph filtration. A version timeline may be presented and operated as a tool for historical navigation and speculative exploration.

Abstract: Techniques herein visually simplify and summarize property graphs. In an embodiment, a computer loads an original graph that contains original vertices interconnected by original edges. Each original vertex contains vertex properties, each original edge contains edge properties. Based on the vertex properties of the original vertices and the edge properties of the original edges, the computer generates and displays a simplified graph that contains simplified vertices that each represents multiple original vertices, and simplified edges that each represents multiple original edges. Responsive to an interactive selection of a particular simplified vertex or edge of the simplified graph, the computer displays a statistical summary based on the multiple original vertices represented by the particular simplified vertex, or the multiple original edges represented by the particular simplified edge.
