Database views for graphs using dynamic subgraphs

摘要

Embodiments for a method of implementing dynamic subgraphs in a graph database by defining vertices of a subgraph descriptively in such a way that the original intent of the content is preserved while the subgraph itself is changing. A database process preserves a “view” of the database as a stored query which will define a subgraph members while the subgraph members are modified, and as opposed to a method in which edges are induced from their vertices to be included in the subgraph, by defining the content of a subgraph descriptively using a database view, vertices which are new and should be contained in the subgraph will automatically be included.
