MULTIDIMENSIONAL GRAPH STRUCTURED DATABASE WITH PROPERTY AND RELATIONSHIP SUBCLASSES

摘要

The invention provides a multidimensional graph database with property and relationship subclasses. In comparison to current graph database technology, which only allows for the creation of nodes, relationships, and properties for the nodes and relationships, the new multidimensional graph database treats properties as a separate object class. In this way, each property may in turn have one or more of its own properties and/or relationships to other nodes, relationships, or properties. The system is able to add as many layers of properties and relationships as needed to precisely represent the data as well as the relationships between and/or amongst the data. By extending the graph database schema beyond the conventional bounds, the multidimensional graph database increases the efficiency of database queries while simultaneously increasing the depth and quality of the data produced by the search queries.
