Oracle Property Graphs
and Cytoscape Library

Have you ever considered what a difference it would make to your business performance if you knew your business processes inside and out? The reality is that most businesses still do not focus on this element of their business, and if they do, it might take them to new heights of success. But the question is, how do you do it? There may be other options, but we discovered one that may be of interest to you.

We stored the data in an Oracle database in the form of Oracle property graph tables so that we could link the various processes in the database using Nodes and Edges. Using the Cytoscape library, we were able to create and visualize graphs of all the data from the database and how it was linked to one another. This enabled us:
    1. To be able to see the connections between all of the processes.
    2. Different ways they are accomplished in the organization.
    3. Visualize various properties, such as how long it takes to perform a single
        step of the process, and so on.

For both on-premise editions and Oracle Cloud Database Services, Oracle has made its Property Graph functionality available for free. We can easily store our Property Graph in the Property Graph schema of our existing database because Oracle Database is multimodal. There are about fifty ready-to-use graph algorithms, and there are yet more that can be implemented.
Cytoscape.js is an API (Application Program Interface, which specifies how software components should interact and is used to program graphical user interfaces) that allows users to assimilate graphs into interaction models and web user interfaces
