Subhrajyoti Bordoloi, Bichitra Kalita . Designing Graph Database Models from Existing Relational Databases. International Journal of Computer Applications. 74, 1 ( July 2013), 25-31. DOI=10.5120/12850-9303
In this paper, a method for transforming a relational database to a graph database model is described. In this approach, the dependency graphs for the entities in the system are transformed into star graphs. This star graph model is transformed into a hyper graph model for the relational database, which, in turn, can be used to develop the domain relationship model that can be converted in to a graph database model.
