observations on the conversion of the backend from JSON to property graph (Neo4j)

The JSON backend for the Physics Derivation Graph 

  • is concise -- only the fields necessary are present 
  • is easily readable -- plain text and not much nesting
  • requires significant investment to construct queries
  • is static in terms of dependencies; unlikely to degrade or require maintenance
The property graph (in Neo4j) backend
  • supports user-provided queries
  • adds maintenance risk of keeping up with changes to Cypher and Neo4j
