Yes your suggestion sounds good. If you're interested in the actual classes (e.g. for connecting other users to the same class aka stayfriends) then you'd also model the classes as nodes (but only if you really need it in your problem domain, you can also later still evolve the model).
For looking up users and places you would use unique index id's. Traversing is fast as it is the core graphdb operation. The main performance difference is from where you start the traversal (i.e. the user which has just a few rels or the place, which might have many rels) and how you continue from there. If you need at some point you can add additional relationship with just the degree's for. e.g. (user) - PHD -> (MIT) Michael Am 31.05.2012 um 10:50 schrieb Maaz Bin Tariq: > I want to store Facebook educations of a user in Neo4j, so that i can query > on any attribute combinations. > Currently Fields I want to save of Facebook education field > https://graph.facebook.com/me?fields=id,name,education&access_token=..... > > { > id:1 > name:"xyz" > education":[ > {"school":{"id":2"","name":"A"}, > "degree":{"id":3"","name":"B"}, > "year": {"id":4"","name":"C"}, > "type":"X", > },.....] > } > > In MySQL I will create an education table with following table user_id, > school_id,degree_id,year_id,type > Not sure whats the best way to store it in Neo4j. > 1. possible solution is > Node User --------->(edu relationship) ---> Node school > > degree,year,type are relationship attributes. > Not sure it will be be fast if we traverse users on type and degree > attributes.
