The following improvements have been made to Ricgraph.

Ricgraph general:

  • Various updates in the merging of nodes in update_node_value() and merge_two_nodes().
  • In the Makefile: updated Neo4j Community Edition from v5.24.0 to v2025.03.0. Updated Neo4j Desktop from v1.6.0 to v1.6.1. You will need openjdk21 (java21) for both. Usually, these will be installed automatically.
  • Improvements and clarifications of the Makefile.

Ricgraph Explorer:

  • You can now export every table to a csv file using a link below the table.

Enhance scripts:

  • A script rename_organization.sh in directory enhance to rename (sub-)organizations has been added. Imagine, that after harvesting multiple sources, you have organization names "Universiteit Utrecht" and "Utrecht University", using this script you can rename the former to the latter. The (sub-)organization names to be renamed are specified in a csv file. Some examples have been included in directory enhance.

Harvest scripts:

  • The harvest of multiple sources has been rewritten using bash files. They have also been moved to directory harvest_multiple_sources. Now, while harvesting, you can do other actions in between. E.g., you can harvest sources for organization A, then dump the graph database using a Makefile command, then harvest sources for organization B, then dump the graph database, then clean up (sub-)organization names, and then dump the final graph database, all in one script.

Documentation:

  • Restructured, clarified, and cleaned up documentation.
  • The Neo4j Desktop Bloom videos have been removed.

Upgrading:

  • For any version, you will need to re-install Ricgraph. It is advisable to remove all of your existing files and directories, except for ricgraph.ini, before you re-install Ricgraph. Recreate your Ricgraph initialization file from ricgraph.ini-sample, and use the values from your previous ricgraph.ini version. Note that organization abbreviation VU has changed to VUA. Read more about the Ricgraph initialization file.
  • You will need to reharvest your sources if you have harvested organization VU.
  • You will not need to reharvest your sources if you upgrade from version v2.4 and earlier.
