#2.12: What is a Graph Database
Graphs occur everywhere in everyday life: your network of friends, the network of roads you drive on, and the supply chain of factories, ships, and roads that brought you the device you’re reading this on. Graph databases themselves, are the hottest thing in the database industry. Join our Senior Digital Marketing Manager, Laura Cope as she explores:
- What is a graph?
- What is a graph database?
- Different types of graph databases.
- Graph database use cases.
#2.11: ArangoRDF
This lunch session will introduce ArangoRDF an RDF adapter developed with the community as a first step at bringing RDF graphs into ArangoDB. The adapter is still in early development and we are hoping to build out its features based on community feedback.
#2.10: ArangoSearch (Advanced Analytics)

#2.9 – Introducing the ArangoDB-NetworkX Adapter
This lunch session will walk you through using our NetworkX adapter and how to easily convert ArangoDB graphs to NetworkX graphs and back again! See how using this adapter gives you the best of both graph worlds with all of the speed and flexibility of ArangoDB and the ubiquity of NetworkX.
#2.8 – Introducing the ArangoDB-DGL Adapter
This lunch session introduces you to our DGL adapter. We walk through the base examples of how to use the adapter to export ArangoDB graphs to DGL. The Deep Graph Library (DGL) is an easy-to-use, high-performance, and scalable Python package for deep learning on graphs. DGL is framework agnostic, meaning if a deep graph model is a component of an end-to-end application, the rest of the logic can be implemented in any major frameworks, such as PyTorch, Apache MXNet, or TensorFlow.
#2.7 – Recommendation Demo on ArangoGraph
For this lunch session, we recommend leaving your head in the clouds as we go through our ArangoDB ArangoGraph recommendation engine demo.

#23 – Advanced Aggregation Queries with AQL
Building on the previous lunch session, we will explore more variants of the COLLECT operation. Instead of grouping full documents, you can use a subset of attributes. Using multiple COLLECT operations is another interesting use case. We will also delve into COLLECT with AGGREGATE as an efficient way to compute statistical properties during grouping.
#22 – Basic Aggregation Queries with AQL
The COLLECT operation in ArangoDB’s query language AQL is a versatile tool. It lets you group records based on attribute values but also deduplicate values, count how often each value occurs, and more. In this lunch session, we will take a look at the essential variants of COLLECT.
