Requirements
Support multiple domains. (NORDUnet and SUNET to start with)
Continuous and on request updates instead of once a day.
Solutions
Multiple domains could be solved with Labels. Neo4j version >=2.0 is required.
Continuous updates of the database requires multiple database connections. We will use neo4jdb-python drivers.
Work in progress
Updated graph model, http://gist.neo4j.org/?fe682b1dc394dd8e4421
Branch created in repo: neo4jdb-python
Setting up a new instance
