Abstract

• Graph databases have a long academic tradition. At the heart of any graph database lies an efficient representation of entities and relationships between them. All graph database models have, as their formal foundation, variations on the basic mathematical definition of a graph, for example, directed or undirected graphs, labeled or unlabeled edges and nodes, hypergraphs, and hypernodes. More recently, semantic relations have become a major theme of interest of Computational Linguistics. Semantic relations among words have captured the interest of various brands of philosophers, cognitive psychologists, linguists, early childhood and second language educators, computer scientists, literary theorists, cognitive neuroscientists, psychoanalysts - investigators from just about any field whose interests involve words, meaning or the mind. The Pi Canon is the complete scripture collection of the Theravda school. Buddhist monks and scholars studied the Pi language mainly to gain access to the Buddhist Canon and many religious works were written using the Pi language. The objective of this study is to support for new Buddhist vocabulary learner to alternative view by using graph database, Neo4j.
