This may be the same solution suggested by Dmitriy, but I had to visualise it to understand the problem. The problematic solution on top, if I understand it correctly; the proposed solution beneath it: http://s3.amazonaws.com/neo4j/node_example.png
It's a more "verbose" graph, but it does model the semantics. This is all very abstract, so let's make your example more concrete by naming the nodes something other than letters that match to a "real world" example. 1. (A) Brad Pitt stars in (B) Fight Club in the role of (C) Tyler Durden. 2. (D) Edward Norton stars in (B) Fight Club in the roles of both (E) The Narrator and [spoiler alert] (C) Tyler Durden The creation of "casting" nodes F and G in the diagram may serve a practical purpose later, for example if one was also modelling Pitt and Norton's contract for accounting purposes, tracking media coverage of the casting news, etc. Stephen On 6 August 2011 06:11, pankaj <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I have following data modeling problem.
