Weighted Graph Analysis

 





🏗️ Weighted Graph Analysis of create_new.sql Schema (with Euler-style Normalization)

Absolutely! Here’s a step-by-step approach to your request, combining SQL schema analysis, graph construction, attribute-based weighting, and a normalization step inspired by Euler ratios.


1. Extract Entities and Attributes from create_new.sql

Below is a simplified mapping of main entities and their attributes (excluding join tables and pure FKs):

TableAttributes (excluding IDs/FKs)Total Attributes
areaarea_id, name, gid3
artistartist_id, name, gid3
artist_creditartist_credit_id, name2
base_typetable_id, gid, name, childOrder, parent, type_id6
genregenre_id, gid, genreName3
instrumentinstrument_id, gid, name3
labellabel_id, gid, labelCode, name4
mediummedium_id, name2
medium_formatdescription, hasDiscId, gid, medium_format_id, name, parent, year7
recordingrecording_id, gid, name3
releaserelease_id, gid, name3
release_grouprelease_group_id, gid, name3
tracktrack_id, gid, name3
workwork_id, gid, name3

2. Generate Graphviz DOT with Attributes as Vertex Weights

Each vertex represents an entity, labeled with its attribute count (weight).
Edges represent primary foreign key relationships in the schema.




3. Transform Unweighted to Weighted Graph

  • Vertex Weight: Number of attributes (as above).
  • Edge Weight: Optionally, sum or mean of incident vertex weights.

4. Normalize Vertex Weights (Euler Ratio Inspired)

Let’s normalize all vertex weights to [0, 1] range (Euler-style):

  • Let:
    w_min = 2 (minimum attributes)
    w_max = 7 (maximum attributes)

  • Formula:
    norm_w = (w - w_min) / (w_max - w_min)

TableRaw wNormalized (norm_w)
area30.2
artist30.2
artist_credit20.0
base_type60.8
genre30.2
instrument30.2
label40.4
medium20.0
medium_format71.0
recording30.2
release30.2
release_group30.2
track30.2
work30.2

5. Graphviz with Normalized Weights



6. Penalty & CsvFileProcessingPriority Analogy

  • Penalty: Use normalized weight as a “processing penalty”. (Higher = more attributes = more expensive to process.)
  • CsvFileProcessingPriority:
    Replace the simple count of outgoing edges with normalized vertex weight in the priority formula:
    priority = outgoing_edges * (1 + normalized_weight)

7. Summary

  • Visualize attribute complexity and normalize for cross-entity comparison.
  • Use these normalized values in processing priorities for ETL or CSV import.
  • Euler-style normalization gives you a fair, proportionate ranking for processing and graph analysis.
