Using graph databases to present different generalizations of Panbiogeographic Tracks

Panbiogeography is a discipline of historical biogeography that utilizes track graphs to present geographic distribution data. Graph databases offer a means to demonstrate biogeographic relationships that enables simple visual discrimination of different representations within panbiogeography. It is especially handy when many tracks are being considered worthwhile. Additionally, graph databases offer a means to realize the Panbiogeographic Atlas proposed by Craw, Grehan and Heads (1999) and supports rigorous definitions of different kinds of nodes being utilized in the discipline. Graph databases offer a new database exploratory vehicle useful in the construction of generalized tracks.

Vertex = Species , Edge Type Track, Edge Type Monophyly, key value pairs (species map) Name:Ulmus serotina Ulmus serotina: stored map

Query Does Eurycea multiplicata posses a nodal relationship with other salamanders and trees?

YES! Use gremlin to traverse the graph.

Maybe more so as different Panbiogeographic representations and different monopyletic tress based on molecular, morphological, etc characters are compared.
Nodes are organized by> Relationships which also have> Properties.

Nodes are Species -tracks organized by Panbiog Nodes which have Properties (Mass and and Baselines).
