Built a web app that imports Dbpedia and Wikidata into Neo4j via API and Java, ending up with 20M nodes and 1M relationships, exposes graph visualizations and a semantic search UI. To avoid billions of traversals properties are grouped into source-specific nodes like DbpediaProperty nodes and WikidataProperty nodes, reducing traversal cost. Entities live only in their chosen category rather than being replicated across topic/category/subcategory, simplifying writes and keeping queries performant.
