What is OrientDB?
OrientDB is a multi-model database capable of efficiently storing and retrieving data like all traditional database systems while it also supports new functionality adopted from graph and document databases. It is written in Java and belongs to the NoSQL database family.
One of the core features of OrientDB is the support of multi-model objects, like Document, Graph, Key/Value, and Real Object. Each of these models can be manipulated using a separate API. Besides, OrientDB has been optimized in terms of performance on both read and write operations.
Why use a graphical representation of OrientDB data?
Visualizing a graph database is considered to give a tremendous benefit to the users as it offers a better insight into the content of the data. The user does not have to dig into the database’s raw data, making it easier to investigate the data, understand their relationships, and identify possible patterns and structures. Also, the user can interact with the visualization and interactively explore the data without any previous knowledge of the query language of the database.
Therefore, being able to provide a high-quality visualization of OrientDB could be a powerful solution when handling or analyzing vast amounts of data.
Challenges of graph database visualizations
While graph data is naturally suited for visualization, handling it remains challenging due to the large volumes typically involved.
The first step is querying the database. Afterward, the results need to be organized in a way that makes the data easy to understand. Clear styling that distinguishes between entity types and relationships, while showing their properties, greatly aids quick interpretation. And of course, fast performance is essential to allow users to explore the data interactively.
