But I guess you could model each transaction as an edge, with the direction specifying which account is debited and which credited, and the weight determining the amount.
I don't find that particularly helpful myself, but I put that down to my unfamiliarity with graph data structures and the associated algorithms. Maybe there's something you can do more easily with a graph database, than you can if you have the same info in a table?
- wutangson1 5y agoSure. Just like blockchain- or any other decentralized ledger- may be a tremendously disruptive technology for property recording, sale/transfer, and financing in the future (compared to the current archaic system of deeds/titles for real property or UCC financing recording for secured transactions); so to, a graph database may clearly illustrate the point of bookkeeping along with the share of assets creditors and investors are entitled to realtime.
