Modeling Time in a Graph

Effective-from / valid-to properties vs temporal relationship nodes — pick per query pattern.

Why it matters

If queries always need 'what was true at T?', materialise time as a node so you can MATCH on it. Otherwise store from/to as properties and filter in WHERE.

Make it stick

Use the prompts below to anchor modeling time in a graph to a real graph you own.

›Pick a graph workload you've shipped — where would *modeling time in a graph* have changed the design?
›What's the smallest version of this pattern you could prototype on a real dataset next sprint?
›What is the most likely *misuse* of this idea, and how would you catch it in a model or query review?
