Summary

The Neo4j community has been active over the past week, with several new developments and updates. A World Cup Graph dataset has been created, which can be played around with using a hosted Neo4j Cloud instance. A GraphQL API has also been added on top of the database to make it accessible to those not fluent in Cypher queries. The community has also seen a new project called "neo4j-knowledge-graph", an example of a simple, queryable knowledge graph implemented using Neo4j. Additionally, there have been updates and blog posts on various topics such as tuning Cypher queries by understanding cardinality, querying spatial data points, and the introduction of a new Cypher query language. The community is also excited to hear about the acceptance of DATMEAN into the Neo4j startup program, which will allow Bea Hernández to work more closely with Neo4j.
