Also the word "Graph" is problematic. It's not the usual G = (V, E) kind of graph that people who know about graphs usually think of, it's a specialised kind of hyper-graph with labels on the edges that are also vertices. And when talking to non-technical people it's confusing because "Graph" usually means a kind of picture with axes and some kind of data plotted.
