RDF Graph Modeling for Book Data in Elixir

Data relationships are complex, and traditional databases often struggle to represent the rich, interconnected world of books, authors, and genres. RDF (Resource Description Framework) offers a powerful, semantic way to model these connections, and Elixir provides the perfect concurrent, functional environment to process them. In this course, you will transition from relational thinking to graph-based thinking. You will learn how to design, build, and query a semantic book graph from scratch, understanding how to represent complex real-world relationships using standard RDF triples and Elixir. What you'll learn: 1. Understand the core concepts of semantic web technology, including RDF triples, nodes, edges, and URIs. 2. Compare RDF graphs with property graphs to choose the right architecture for your data. 3. Represent books, authors, and publishers as interconnected resources in Elixir. 4. Implement graph structures using modern Elixir libraries and functional programming patterns. 5. Query and traverse your book graph efficiently using basic graph-pattern matching. 6. Validate your graph data to ensure semantic consistency and high-quality structures. The course begins with the foundational definitions of semantic data and RDF triples before guiding you through hands-on modeling exercises in Elixir. You will progress from simple node creation to building a fully queryable book graph, applying functional programming principles along the way. This course is designed for beginner to intermediate developers curious about graph databases, semantic web technologies, and Elixir. No prior graph database experience is required, though a basic familiarity with Elixir syntax will help you get the most out of the written examples.
