A hypertext link is a reference in digital content that provides direct access to another resource. In a tweet, a URL can lead followers to related content and increase interactivity. section 2.4
When modeling tweet links in a labeled-property graph, store the URL as a tweet property or represent it as a separate link node connected by a relationship. Separate nodes support faster grouping of tweets that share a link. section 2.4.1
Choose the representation according to the intended queries:
- Use a node property when links do not need to be grouped or traversed as shared entities. section 2.4.1
- Use separate link nodes when standardized URLs must connect multiple tweets efficiently. section 2.4.1
- Treat standardization as essential: different representations of the same resource weaken the value of shared link nodes. section 2.4.1
Tweets sharing a Medium article
A tweet containing a Medium article URL can connect to a separate link node. Other tweets using the same standardized URL can connect to that node, making shared-link analysis direct. section 2.4.1
Compare storing an extracted URL as a tweet property with representing it as a separate link node. section 2.4.1
