The message from this thread seems to be that a) the graph model is great at expressing this style of hierarchical tree model and b) that most people seem to be resorting to domain specific indexing to efficiently query it. The problem with domain-specific approaches is that they require an extra layer of code in order to maintain the index, which increases code complexity, time and cost. The attraction of abandoning a traditional RDMS is that we can eloquently model the graph like structure of our data without resorting to domain specific layers. If, however, we need to resort to them to query the model its a bit pointless!
