Method for Semantic Indexing of Big Data Using a Multidimensional, Hierarchical Scheme

摘要

A method for indexing semantic, non-transitory, computer-stored data comprising the following steps: storing the data in a database; representing the data in a structured framework having at least three elements derived from an ontology; expressing each element as a hierarchical-index value based on an ontology such that semantic information is embedded therein; combining the elements in a multi-dimensional index; and converting the multi-dimensional index into a one-dimensional index.
