  The Boost Graph Library
A standardized generic interface for traversing graphs is of utmost importance to encourage reuse of graph algorithms and data structures.
First, the graph algorithms of the BGL are written to an interface that abstracts away the details of the particular graph data-structure.
There are three distinct graph traversal patterns: traversal of all vertices in the graph, through all of the edges, and along the adjacency structure of the graph (from a vertex to each of its neighbors).

  Graph theory
Graph theory is the branch of mathematics that examines the properties of graphs.
Structures that can be represented as graphs are ubiquitous, and many problems of practical interest can be formulated as questions about certain graphs.
Every graph gives rise to a matroid, but in general the graph cannot be recovered from its matroid, so matroids are not truly generalizations of graphs.

 Relational database management system and method for storing, retrieving and modifying directed graph data structures - ...
Directed graph data structures are stored in specified tables by storing each record of the directed graph in a distinct row of one of the specified tables, with references corresponding to interconnections between records being stored in reference data type columns.
Usually, when data from a directed graph is being inserted into a database, the columns in each row which is stored in the intermediate format are the same as, or a subset of the columns of the target base table in which the directed graph is being stored.
Thus, the retrieved directed graph data structure may, in general, contain cycles and/or multiple pointers to the same substructure, and thus there may be paths from the top-level record of the structure to other records in the structure that exceed the specified depth.

 Generic Programming: Followup to a Dagstuhl Seminar -- Generic Graph Algorithms
Dietmar Kühl
That means in an ideal world it is possible to apply the implementation of a graph algorithm to an arbitrary graph data structure (as long as it is suited to the requirements of the algorithms: it makes no sense to apply an algorithm for planar graphs to a general graph).
Graph algorithms normally access data associated with the nodes and edges of the graph which is often interpreted as weight, length, cost, or flow, depending on the context of the algorithm.
Because graph algorithms often use other algorithms as subalgorithms, the interpretation of the associated data may change, for example, from "length" to "cost." In addition, the algorithms need to store auxiliary data with the nodes and/or edges, for example to indicate a temporary flow value or that a node was already visited.

 Graphs (graph)
An instance G of the data type graph consists of a list V of nodes and a list E of edges (node and edge are item types).
In a directed graph an edge is adjacent to its source and in an undirected graph it is adjacent to its source and target.
In a directed graph a node w is adjacent to a node v if there is an edge (v,w) in E; in an undirected graph w is adjacent to v if there is an edge (v,w) or (w,v) in the graph.

 Graph (data structure) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In computer science, a graph is a kind of data structure, specifically an abstract data type (ADT), that consists of a set of nodes and a set of edges that establish relationships (connections) between the nodes.
A graph G is defined as follows: G=(V,E), where V is a finite, non-empty set of vertices (singular: vertex) and E is a set of edges (links between pairs of vertices).
Graph data structures are non-hierarchical and therefore suitable for data sets where the individual elements are interconnected in complex ways.

 BioMed Central | Full text | GenoLink: a graph-based querying and browsing system for investigating the function of ...
Graph querying approach could greatly benefits from object-oriented data modelling techniques since they provide a higher level of abstraction (especially through objects inheritance) that is especially well-suited to represent complex biological data.
An occurrence of a graph pattern in the data graph is a sub-graph of this data graph where the vertices and the edges fully satisfy the graph pattern constraints: topology, data type (or subtypes) of vertices and edges and constraints on attributes.
Once a line is selected, the Graph Rider provides a graphic view of the corresponding sub-graph (Figure 7) and allows to browse the whole data graph by exploring the neighbours of displayed vertices.

Second, and this applies particularly to problems in graph domains, an application often already has its own data representation and converting that data structure into some graph library format may severely degrade performance.
Instead, you should superimpose the graph structure on the existing data in an implicit fashion by providing the right interface and then run your graph algorithm against that interface.

It is a reasonably efficient imperative data structure for directed graphs with vertices and edges labeled with integers.
One consequence is that you can define your own data structure for graphs and yet re-use all the algorithms from this library -- you only need to provide a few operations such as iterating over all vertices, over the successors of a vertex, etc. See module Path for an example.
