Systems and Methods for Visualizing and Manipulating Graph Databases

Systems and methods for visualizing and manipulating graph databases in accordance embodiments of the invention are disclosed. In one embodiment of the invention, a graph database manipulation device includes a processor and a memory configured to store a graph database manipulation application, wherein the graph database manipulation application configures the processor to obtain a graph database including a set of nodes and a set of edges, determine a source node within the set of nodes, locate a set of related nodes based on the source node and the set of edges, recursively locate a set of sub-related nodes based on the set of related nodes and the set of edges, generate a representation of the set of related nodes from the perspective of the source node, and recursively update the generated representation of the set of sub-related nodes from the perspective of the source node and the related nodes.
