Summary

The text discusses a solution for virtually showing real-world graph scenarios in Neo4j without modifying the underlying model. A Neo4j Certified Professional presents a Cypher code snippet that uses the APOC Library to project nodes and relationships, effectively hiding intermediate nodes and revealing abstracted information relevant to business users. The code snippet is parameterized to work with any traveler present in the database, allowing developers to show their entire journey without modifying the model. This approach leverages virtual graph concepts used by popular graph visualization tools like Bloom and Hume, enabling developers to answer business problems while maintaining graph abstraction.
