Avoid These Labels
“Semantically orthogonal” is a fancy term that means that iFull definition for label (opens in a new tab)A tag on a node that groups it with other nodes of the same kind. A node can carry more than one. should have nothing to do with one another. You should be careful not to use the same type of label in different contexts. For example, using the region for all types of iFull definition for node (opens in a new tab)A vertex in a graph. In a property graph it can carry labels and properties. is not useful for most queries.
Here is an example where both Person nodes and User nodes are labeled with regions. If there are no use cases where the region is significant for both types of nodes, it is not helpful to use these same labels for Person nodes and User nodes.
