Summary

The Neo4j community has been actively sharing updates and new developments in the world of graph databases. A significant release this week was the Paradise Papers, a global investigation revealing offshore activities of powerful individuals and multinational companies. The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) utilized Neo4j and visualisation tool Linkurious to explore and share data from the investigation. Manuel Villa, the first-ever Neo4j Connected Data Fellow at the ICIJ, was featured as a community member for his work on the Paradise Papers. Additionally, online meetups and articles discussed topics such as spatio-semantic comparison of large 3D city models in CityGML using Neo4j, data import into Neo4j using Python, and fraud detection in financial datasets. The Neo4j Knowledge Base also released an article about a common exception when using mismatching versions of APOC and Neo4j. Upcoming events include Graphs in the real world: Philips Lighting and Graphlr tell their story and Data to Value.
