The Zen of Cypher

• Write functions() in lower case, KEYWORDS in upper.
• START each keyword clause
  ON a new line.
• Use either camelCase or snake_case for node identifiers but be consistent.
• Relationship type names should use UPPER_CASE_AND_UNDERSCORES.
• Label names should use CamelCaseWithInitialCaps.
• MATCH (clauses)-->(should)-->(always)-->(use)-->(parentheses)-->(around)-->(nodes)
• Backticks `cân éscape odd-ch@racter$ & keyw0rd$` but should be a code smell.

Exploring cat pedigrees in Neo4J

This is a Neo4J GraphGist where I discover how to model pedigrees in Neo, and various Cypher queries to explore the data.

The data used is from a public available online pedigree of cats. I have stripped of all the names and registration data for simplicity. From a large dataset, I have extracted all the cats belonging to the very small breeds, giving a total of about 600 cats instead of 200K.

The following picture shows a sketch of my general data-model. The arrows between cats could also have been illustrated as "recursive" arrows back to the same cat node-type, but I think that this visualisation better describes the DAG (Directed Acyclical Graph) property of a pedigree/family tree.
