Fourth openCypher Implementers Group Meeting (oCIG 4) - 17 August 2017

This was the fourth virtual meeting for members of the openCypher Implementers Group, with the aim of discussing, agreeing upon or rejecting Cypher language changes proposed via Cypher Improvement Requests (CIRs) and Improvement Proposals (CIPs).
