Node Definitions

This section defines each node type in the graph (alphabetical). For each, we describe what it represents, give a relational analogy (how you'd model the same thing in tables), show a concrete example, list standard properties, and list typical relationships.

Conventions: Node labels use PascalCase (e.g., SongSection). Property names use camelCase (e.g., releaseDate). Established acronyms retain their standard casing (URI, WKT). For purposes of visualization, each node label has been color-coded and these colors will be used throughout the rest of this document.

Node definitions will appear in the following standardized format:

Example Node Definition

Description: brief description of the node and its scope.

Analogy: how a recorded entity of this node might be represented in a spreadsheet or relational database.

Example: example entity name/title.

Node Properties:

propertyName	type	req?	uniq?	description	example(s)
uid	string	yes	yes	unique identifier as alphanumeric slug	"node-slug"
...	...	...	...	...	...
node-specific properties	...	...	...	...	...
...	...	...	...	...	...
wikidataQID	string	no	no	wherever relevant, the ENTITY'S Wikidata QID	"QID"
createdAt	datetime	yes	no	timestamp of entity record creation	2025-10-11T19:58:41.097000000Z
updatedAt	datetime	no	no	timestamp of entity record last update	2025-10-12T09:54:41.082000000Z

Relationships: key outgoing and incoming relationships will be summarized using Neo4j cypher syntax; for more details and UML-style relationship declarations with cardinality, see each edge/relationship definition.

Account

Description: Nodes with the 'Account' label, representing discrete online accounts (anonymous, organizational, or personal) on various platforms. Represented in visualizations by HTML hex color #577590: Account with white (#FFFFFF) label text.

Account owners (organizations and/or people) may be tied to these when known via relationships. This node will be used, initially, for recording and analyzing online public reactions and responses, particularly to assess networks related to praise and criticism.

Analogy: A row in an 'Accounts' spreadsheet or relational database table.

Example: "Wells Archive (Youtube)", "Darrell Rohl (Instagram)"

Concept

Description: Nodes with the 'Concept' label, representing any abstract idea or entity that is not already present within the data model (i.e., when there is not already a separate node—e.g., 'Artist,' 'Emotion,' 'Event,' 'Person,' 'Place,' 'Song'—for them in the database). Represented in visualizations by HTML hex color #FFD166: Concept with black (#000000) label text.

Concepts will usually have external IDs in Wikidata or similar ontologies. They are often explicitly mentioned but also may be alluded to or inferred. Concepts may often be identified by one or two words. In our database, concepts also include any specific identified entity such as works of literature (e.g., The Grapes of Wrath), religions, books, brands, mythic figures, etc. that could be represented by a specific node type that hasn't yet been (and may never be) represented in our database. Properties attached to nodes may later be used to extract concept groupings into their own nodes whenever this appears to benefit our use-cases. Strongly related to but separate from 'Theme.'

Analogy: A row in a 'Concepts' spreadsheet or relational database table.

Example: "Laverne and Shirley", "war", "Blood Meridian"

Node Properties:

propertyName	type	req?	uniq?	description	example(s)

SongSection

Description: Nodes with the 'SongSection' label, representing identifiable sections (e.g., chorus, verse, bridge, etc.) within a larger song; SongSections will be composed of smaller LyricLine units recorded in their own node. Represented in visualizations by HTML hex color #277DA1: SongSection with white (#FFFFFF) label text.

Analogy: A row in a 'SongSections' spreadsheet or relational database table.

Example: "War Isn't Murder Chorus 2", "Whistle Boeing Outro"

Node Properties:

Theme

Description: Nodes with the 'Theme' label, representing an analyst-identified recurring subject or motif. Represented in visualizations by HTML hex color #43AA8B: Theme with white (#FFFFFF) label text.

Themes are related to but different from 'Concept.' While concepts may appear within a Song or Reaction, they may not necessarily form a thematic focus. Concepts are more easily recognized by NLP models and NLP models may aid in the identification of themes but Theme nodes express a stronger human-driven analytical and interpretative process.

Analogy: A row in a 'Themes' spreadsheet or relational database table.

Example: "working-class struggle", "alienation", "the futility of war"

Node Properties:

propertyName	type	req?	uniq?	description	example(s)
uid	string	yes	yes	unique identifier as alphanumeric slug	"theme-working-class-struggle", "theme-alienation", "theme-futility-of-war"
name	string	yes	no	theme term or name	"working-class struggle", "alienation", "the futility of war"
description	string	yes	no	brief description of this theme (with examples?)	"The conflict between laborers and oppressive economic systems. Example: "Look for the Union Label" song.", "The profound feeling of isolation from society and self. Example: Eliot's "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock".", "War is senseless destruction and pointlessness, devoid of glory. Example: Wilfred Owen's "Dulce et Decorum Est"."
