I've been using the tinkerpop graph processing stack, and the first
example I found in the documentation used neo4j, and it seemed to be
installed already with gremlin by it's pom.xml so I just went with it.
The code should work with any graph database that blueprints
supports.
tinkerpop has something called rexster which gives a JSON/REST
interface to the graph. This is what I'm planning to use as the
backend for an interactive javascript visualization of the graph.

Thanks, for catching this error, there must be a typo somewhere in the
EAC to EAC XSLT.

This is something I think Daniel Pitti came up with for the project.
Any named identity mentioned in the EAD is presumed to be
"associatedWith" the named identity of the collection creator -- but
if the named identity is in a correspondence series or there is
another clue that there are correspondence between the identities they
are tagged as "correspondedWith", a stronger connection.
