Dev log - 003: Exploring Oz Curriculum

Purpose#

Basically try and get something useful out of the RDF version of version 9 of the Australian Curriculum.

Thoughts are

  • Make sense of what is there

  • Using Neo4j

  • Figure out the available Python methods for manipulating that data

  • Figure out how it might be used

  • With memex

  • For lesson planning etc

ToC#

Neo4j#

A Java implemented graph database (in the sense of nodes, edges). Has a limited Commuity (free) version. A decent intro to Neo4j and graph databases, including a feature list for Neo4J which includes

  • Cypher - an query language for graph databases
  • native graph - as a labelled property graph
  • Data browser
  • ACID compliant
  • REST API and Javascript access

Local installation#

Neo4j corporate site pushes you to the cloud, but there is desktop version. Requires contact details.
