RDB2Graph: A Generic Framework for Modeling Relational Databases as Graphs.
Kang Min Yoo, Sungchan Park, Sang-goo Lee · 2014
Abstract. Graph data mining is highly versatile, as it applies not only to graph data but to relational data, as long as it can be represented as pairs of relationships. However, modeling RDBs as graphs using ex-isting methods is limited in describing semantics of the relational data. In this paper, we propose a two-phased graph-modeling framework that converts any RDB to a directed graph with richer semantics than previ-ously allowed. We implemented the framework and used it for analyzing medical records of diabetes patients.1
