碩士 === 國立高雄第一科技大學 === 資訊管理系碩士班 === 105 === With the escalating progress of information and communication technology, the daily output of information is expanding, in response to the ever-increasing amount of information and diverse data types, the database technology is also innovative, e.g., the NoSQL technology alleviates traditional approach by a schema-less framework, which gains the merit of higher flexibility, such that the graph databases offer users to create nodes, together with their connected relationships. Besides, users can issue intuitive and versatile query statements to retrieve the relationships between nodes, or the shortest path between nodes. This study will employ the most popular graph database, Neo4j, to build a geographic information system of Tokyo Metro network. We intend to mark the station information on the map to show their relative positions, to facilitate the application of community analysis and reduce the passengers’ obsession. The aim of this study is to learn how the follow-up can be applied to the railways and MRTs of Taiwan as a whole. For future integration, we intend to take the bus and even blue ocean pathways into account in the future. This testbed plays hopefully an important base for the future development of the smart city or the overall tourism environment in Taiwan to boost overall gross national profit and efficiency.
