When dealing with datasets, journalists have many options to choose from when moving beyond Excel. Usually the first step is using a relational (or SQL) database. While a relational database can be a good choice for some datasets, data analysts today turn to new tools to gain deeper insight. This talk will show how we can use a graph database to analyze highly connected data using examples from U.S. Congressional data and political email archives. Using the U.S. Congress data, we鈥檒l show you how to explore the dataset using Cypher, the Neo4j query language, to discover legislator activity including bill sponsorship and voting activity. Building up our knowledge of Cypher as we progress, we鈥檒l show how you can use principles from social network analysis to find influential legislators and discover what topics legislators have influence over. Finally, we will examine how to draw insights from the Hillary Clinton email dataset, released as part of a FOIA request earlier this year. We will explore this dataset as a graph of interactions among users, answering questions like: Who is communicating with Hillary the most? What are the topics of these emails? You鈥檒l learn how to visualize these using the Neo4j browser to quickly make sense of the data as we are exploring. The goal of this talk is to provide a demonstration of database tools that any journalist can use to explore datasets and draw insights from connected datasets.]]>

Interactions among members of any large organization are naturally a graph, yet the tools we use to analyze data about these organizations often ignore the graphiness of the domain and instead map the data into structures (such as relational databases) that make taking advantage of the relationships in the data much more difficult when it comes time for analysis. Collaboration networks are a perfect example. This talk will focus on analyzing one of the most powerful collaboration networks in the world, the US Congress. We will show how to model US Congressional data (legislators, bills, committees and the interactions among them) as a graph, how to import the data into the Neo4j graph database and how to write ad-hoc queries to answer simple questions such as 鈥淲hat are the topics of bills referred to committees on which California House Representatives serve?鈥�. We will then see how we can combine a graph processing engine (Apache Spark) with Neo4j to run graph algorithms like PageRank on our data stored in Neo4j. This will allow us to identify influential legislators in the network and the topics over which they exert influence. This talk will touch on topics related to graph data modeling, graph databases, graph processing, and social network analysis that can be applied to many different domains.]]>
