A property graph is a graph data model that represents entities as nodes and the relationships between them as edges, with name-value properties attached to both nodes and edges. It is widely used in graph databases, and SQL/PGQ in the SQL standard and the graph query language standard GQL define how to query it.

Defining a property graph over relational tables lets users query connections across multiple hops without moving the data. It differs from the RDF model, which expresses facts as subject, predicate and object triples.

Because the property graph keeps the full network, here 19 nodes and 22 edges, you can follow the paths behind a number rather than just read the number.
