Intermediate Nodes
You sometimes find cases where you need to connect more data to a iFull definition for relationship (opens in a new tab)A named, directed connection between two nodes. Every relationship has a type, a start node and an end node. than can be fully captured in the iFull definition for property (opens in a new tab)A named value stored on a node or a relationship.. In other words, you want a relationship that connects more than two iFull definition for node (opens in a new tab)A vertex in a graph. In a property graph it can carry labels and properties.. Mathematics allows this, with the concept of a hyperedge. A solution to hyperedges in Neo4j is to create intermediate nodes.
You create intermediate nodes when you need to:
