Rogas(https://github.com/CornucopiaRG/Rogas) is a project for Network Analytics
Rogas (Relational-Oriented Graph Analytic System) not only can provides a high-level declarative query language to
formulate analysis queries, but also can unify different graph algorithms
within the relational environment for query processing.
The Rogas has three main components: (1) a hybrid data model, which
integrates graphs with relations so that we have these two types of data
structures respectively for network analysis and relational analysis;
(2) a SQL-like query language, which extends standard SQL with
graph constructing, ranking, clustering, and path finding operations;
(3) a query engine, which is built upon PostgreSQL and can efficiently process
network analysis queries using various graph systems and
their supporting algorithms.
- Database info panel can show the schema information of relations and graphs in the database
- Query input panel can be extended to a larger space for complicated queries
- Show queries and their results as browser-tab style
- Asynchronous execution with loading animation
- Support regular relational queries and graph queries with graph operations (RANK, CLUSTER and PATH)
- Show the result of a large table in pages
- Support visualisation for graph queries with graph operations (RANK, CLUSTER and PATH)
- Support interactive operations on graphs (drag, double click, zoom in/out)
- Support relation - graph data mapping
-
- Get targeted nodes based on the RANK result
-
- Find nodes on the shortest path among the selected nodes
-
- Find nodes around the selected nodes
-
- Rescale the size of each cluster according to the proportion
-
- Score each node according to the inner-cluster edges, cluster-cluster edges and target node's degree
-
- Find the max connected component in each cluster
-
- Get certain amount (be specified in setting) of nodes in the max connected component from high score to low score
-
- Find neighbor nodes around the selected nodes
-
- Get targeted nodes based on the PATH result
-
- Find nodes around the selected nodes
- Python 2.7
- Tornado: http://www.tornadoweb.org/en/stable/
- Postgresql: https://www.postgresql.org/
- Psycopg: http://initd.org/psycopg/
- Graph-tool: http://graph-tool.skewed.de/
- SNAP: http://snap.stanford.edu/snappy/index.html
- NetworkX: http://networkx.github.io/
Note: If you use Mac OS, the Graph-tool installed doesn't support OpenMP by default, you can change the IS_GRAPH_TOOL_OPENMP = False in rogas/config.py.
We also make use of Bootstrap(http://getbootstrap.com/), D3.js(https://d3js.org) and ExpandingTextareas(https://github.com/bgrins/ExpandingTextareas), which are integrated into the system so you don't need install them by yourself.
- Set up your database information in rogas.config.py to connect to Postgresql
- Python run.py
- Open the browser by entering http://localhost:12345/
-
- find a more informative naming strategy for different query tabs
-
- improve the graph visualisation for large graphs (million or billion nodes), including implementing good layouts and improving the efficiency
-
- make the visualisation for PATH operations more informative, in particular of dealing with multiple paths
-
- add more functions about user interaction, such as the content of graphs can correspondingly change when doing zoom-in/out
-
- build an algorithm store that includes different types of algorithms for network analysis
