Cypherbooks

Graph constructs of books' nouns, events and relations and broken down in the canonical subject->predicate->object schema.

The choice of books is completely arbitrary.

As the name of the project would suggest, the whole thing started with cypher/GQL. Pretty quickly it has become clear that cypher, as good as it may be, has a very serious limitation of being hard to parse, ergo there are very few convertors between cypher and other formats available, and you are pretty much stuck using New4j. The format was switched to YAML, with the schema most suitable for this type of task. More on GYAML schema can be found here

Utilities

This repo also contains some small utilities, that help to automate data entry and handling. These can be found in the utilities folder

Don DeLillo: White Noise (1985)

White Noise is considered one of, if not the, best work of the American author Don DeLillo. The novel is a prime example of postmodernist literature, both by the content and by form.

The narrative in the book is protagonist-centric and is told only from his point of view, thus he is the central point in the graph with all other important nodes branching out from him.

The book is broken down into Parts and Chapters.

Current state of progress (as of the time of this document -- chapter 10)

there is also the HTML version of the same database (incomplete) generated with pyvi framework

The simplified, but interactive graph of this book can be found here

रामायणम्

The Ramayana is one of the three (if we consider Bhagavat Gita as an independent entity, rather than a part of Mahabharata) epics from ancient India. The authorship of the work is attributed to Valmiki, though it is most certainly a body of work of several people.

Currently the development has paused, as I am reviewing the entry criteria

Again, the interactive, albeit simplified version is on surge

Made in Japan: Studies in Popular Music (2014)

an academic study of the genealogy of Japanese popular music from Takarazuka Revue to Enka. J-pop and EDM are not addressed in the book.

This book is the first attempt at non-fiction format.
