Accessing Data Entities
• Data retrieval via REST API
https://www.meetup.com/meetup_api
• Different API methods & versions
• API Key required
• Sample request
• Data returned as JSON
@kpatenge @datanativesconf #DN18

Potential Questions of Interest
• Which Meetup groups are most active in terms of:
– # members
– # events
– # event attendees
• Who and where are influencers in the Meetup community?
• Where are connections between the Meetup groups in different locations?
• Which topics are “hot” and where?
• How close/similar are groups?
• …

Approach: Modeling Data as Graphs
The more connected the data is, the better a Graph fits
Source: http://www.ateam-oracle.com/intro-to-graphs-at-oracle/

• A set of nodes (aka vertices)
– each vertex has a unique identifier
– each vertex has a set of in/out edges
– each vertex has a collection of key-value
properties
• A set of edges
– each edge has a unique identifier
– each edge has a head/tail vertex
– each edge has a label denoting type of
relationship between two vertices
– each edge has a collection of key-value properties
• Implementations
– Oracle (Spatial and Graph/Big Data Spatial and
Graph), Neo4j, DataStax (Titan), InfiniteGraph, …
What is a Property Graph?
https://github.com/tinkerpop/blueprints/wiki/Property-Graph-Model

• PageRank, Weighted PageRank
– Find influencers, critical vertices
• Personalized PageRank
– Find important people/products/...
with respect to a given starting point
• Sparsification
– Trim down the graph to make it more
fragmented
• Clustering
– Find communities which can be the
basis of segmentation, and/or
recommendation/anomaly detection,
churn analysis
• Centrality
– Find critical people/devices/...
• Shortest path
– Discover links, find suspect‘s close
collaborators, transportation routing
• Breadth-First-Search (BFS)
– Impact analysis, link analysis
• Matric factorization
– Recommendation
• Reachability
– Connectivity test
• ...

Ranking via PageRank (Top 10+1)

✓Which cities are tech hot spots?
✓Who are important people in the
Meetup landscape?
✓Which Meetup groups cover with
topics?
✓Which Meetup groups are relevant in
terms of
#Members, #Participants of events,
#Events
✓Which Meetup groups are related
and how?
✓Which topics are related and how?
• The way you model the graph has
influence on the results of executing
Graph algorithms
• The choice of edge directions does
matter depending on the algorithms
• Attaching weights to edges is useful
for certain algorithms
Some Results

Key Takeaways
• Graph data model perfect to focus on connectivity
• Graph databases are powerful tools, complementing relational and other
databases
– Especially strong for analysis of graph topology and connectedness
• Visual analysis helps a great deal to understand how data are connected
– New insights, especially with relationships, dependencies and behavioral patterns
• Big variety of analytic tools and frameworks to answer all kind of questions
• Oracle Graph Technologies combined with Open Source or 3rd party tools
