== Domain | |
A product catalog is a collection of products, their categories, manufacturers with their pricing information. Products can be sold separately, included in one or more catalogs or used as substitute products | |
You can perform the following operations on a product: | |
Create, Update, Delete (Not recommended, deactivate instead), Deactivate (We should deactivate products that are no longer available instead of deleting them, because they are included in past orders, quotes, or opportunities.), Search etc. | |
A store organizes its *Products* +OF_TYPE+ *Category* into one or more *Catalogs*. A Catalog thus becomes a hierarchy of Categories. A Category can be +PARENT+ of one or more child categories. This lending itself naturally to be modeled as a graph. Each Product and Category can have distinct set of attributes than others which also fit nicely into property graph model (otherwise would require a EAV - Entity Attribute Value relational model). | |
A Product can be +SUBSTITUTE_FOR+ another Product. A product can have one or more +MODELs+, each model has +PRICING+ associated with it. This is not a complete solution for all the product catalog use cases but provides a good starting point. I will slowly keep modelling more use cases. | |

Hi @funpluscharity. Your GraphGist isn't compatible with the latest Neo4j 2.0 milestones. I've updated it here: https://gist.github.com/cleishm/7303413. Can you update?
@cleishm Seems like someone forked and made the necessary changes. Thank you.
