opal: Sample Graph Traversal Patterns in Opal
Over the course of our work on Opal, there have been a few graph traversal patterns that have shown themselves to be repeatably useful. While these will not likely be generalizable to all domains, they map well to our current data set and its modeling within the graph.
The key patterns that will…
Identity at Mozilla: Persona is distributed. Today.
With Persona, you can log into web sites using the email address of your choice. The first time you use an email, our servers send you a confirmation link. By following that link, you confirm your identity to Persona, which then vouches for your ownership of that email address.

opal: Loading DBPedia into Neo4j with Clojure
DBPedia is a community project to extract structured data from Wikipedia articles. The data is freely available for download.
Currently, the DBPedia datasets describe describes 3.77 million things. The information is encoded as relationships between resources. This is a natural fit for graph…
as much as i love graph systems, i have a persistant bias toward spatial systems where the distance function of each dimension can be modulated on the fly. that requires having consistent components in your vectors, though, as opposed to the more extensible nature of the property graph approach. can’t have it all, can you?
