This document provides an overview of graph databases, including their basic components and structure. It discusses graph database vendors like Neo4j and OrientDB and how they are implemented. Examples of use cases for graph databases include social network analysis, recommendations, knowledge graphs, and routing. The document also mentions graph processing frameworks and APIs that can interact with graph databases.

8. Graph Databases
A graph database is a database that uses graph
structures with nodes, edges, and properties to
represent and store information.
General graph databases that can store any
graph are distinct from specialized graph
databases such as triple stores and network
databases.
