Status: Archived | Date Archived: 2026-01-27 Reason: Historical evaluation and implementation planning documents for graph explorer feature

Overview

This directory contains archived documents related to the Graph Explorer feature evaluation and implementation planning. These documents were created during the evaluation phase when Neo4j was being considered as a graph database solution.

Current Status: The Graph Explorer feature was approved using PostgreSQL + Cytoscape.js approach instead of Neo4j. See the current requirements document: application_documentation/01-requirements/features/graph-explorer.md

Archived Documents

Evaluation Documents

1. graph-database-evaluation.md (from 01-requirements/features/)
   • Comprehensive evaluation comparing Neo4j vs PostgreSQL approach
   • Status: Completed evaluation
   • Outcome: Recommended PostgreSQL + Cytoscape.js
2. graph-database-evaluation-decisions-version.md (from 02-architecture/decisions/)
   • Duplicate version with ADR-style front matter
   • Contains similar evaluation content

Implementation Planning

1. graph-explorer-implementation-plan.md (from 01-requirements/features/)
   • Detailed implementation plan for PostgreSQL + Cytoscape.js approach
   • Status: Draft planning document
   • Contains step-by-step implementation guide
2. graph-explorer-implementation-plan-decisions-version.md (from 02-architecture/decisions/)
   • Duplicate version with ADR-style front matter
   • Contains similar implementation plan content

Original Requirements

1. graph-explorer-requirement.md (from 01-requirements/features/)
   • Original requirement document specifying Neo4j implementation
   • Status: Superseded
   • Note: This was the original requirement before evaluation led to PostgreSQL approach

Current Active Documents

For current requirements and architecture decisions, see:

• Feature Requirements: application_documentation/01-requirements/features/graph-explorer.md
• Architecture Decision: application_documentation/02-architecture/decisions/ADR-005-graph-database-evaluation.md

Archive Rationale

These documents were archived to:

• Consolidate historical evaluation documents in one location
• Remove duplicate files from multiple directories
• Preserve historical context while maintaining clear documentation structure
• Follow ADR-001 principles for document organization

Note on Duplicates

Some documents exist in multiple versions (from 01-requirements/features/ and 02-architecture/decisions/). Both versions are preserved here for completeness. The versions from 01-requirements/features/ are considered the primary versions as they contain more complete context and references.
