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. > > Just as an aside, I noticed that there are 66 edges that lack labels, > and 8332 'associateWith' labels that probably should be > 'associatedWith'? Thanks, for catching this error, there must be a typo somewhere in the EAC to EAC XSLT. > I'm also kind of curious to hear more about what > 'associatedWith' means, is that something from EAC?

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.
