neo4j/cypher: Aggregating relationships within a path by Mark Needham.

From the post:

I recently came across an interesting use case of paths in a graph where we wanted to calculate the frequency of communication between two people by showing how frequently each emailed the other.

The model looked like this:

I can’t imagine why Mark would think about tracking emails between people. 😉

And as Mark says, the query he settles on isn’t guaranteed to scale.

Still, it is an interesting exercise.
