COMPUTING APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MANAGING A GRAPH DATABASE

摘要

Embodiments include an apparatus to automate integration of non-conceptual data items into a data graph, the graph including graph nodes and graph edges, the computing apparatus comprising: a data storage system configured to store, as a node, a behavior handler to update the data graph in response to an occurrence of a specified trigger event, the node representing the behavior handler being stored in association with the non-conceptual data item; an execution module configured to execute the procedure defined by a behavior handler in response to the event; a modification identification module to identify modified graph elements, and to record the graph elements as modifications attributed to the behavior handler; an inference module configured to infer relationships between behavior handlers by, analyzing the modifications attributed to the behavior handlers to identify relationships between the modifications, and adding the relationships to the data graph as edges between the graph nodes.

1. A computing apparatus configured to automate integration of non-conceptual data items into a data graph, the data graph comprising graph elements including graph nodes and graph edges, the computing apparatus comprising:
a data storage system configured to store, as a graph node of the data graph for each of a plurality of non-conceptual data items, a behavior handler defining a procedure for using a non-conceptual data item to update the data graph in response to an occurrence of a specified trigger event, the graph node representing the behavior handler being stored in association with the non-conceptual data item; an execution module configured to execute the procedure defined by the behavior handler from among the behavior handlers in response to the occurrence of the specified trigger event for the behavior handler; a modification identification module configured to identify graph elements modified as a consequence of execution of the procedure, and to record identified graph elements as members of a set of modifications attributed to the behavior handler defining the executed procedure; and an inference module configured to infer relationships between behavior handlers by, for each pair of behavior handlers defining executed procedures, analyzing sets of modifications attributed to the pair of behavior handlers to identify relationships between the sets of modifications, and adding identified relationships to the data graph as edges between the graph nodes representing respective behavior handlers.
