1. Define your EDGES       -> src --> dest, with relationship type/properties
2. Define your NODE LOOKUPS -> display names, types, properties for each node ID
3. Union edge types         -> if you have multiple relationship types
4. Union node lookups       -> if you have multiple node types
5. Call make-graph          -> edges | make-graph Source --> Target with nodes on nodeId
