INDUSTRY GRAPH DATABASE

摘要

Information may be extracted from a variety of source materials and mapped onto elements of a graph topology representative of industry information. The topology may comprise information indicative of industries and companies including partnerships, capabilities, products, solutions, and promotions. The topology may describe interrelationships between elements. Various qualities such as position within an industry, partnerships, promotions, technological and organizational capabilities, products and solutions, and so on may be quantified by examination of relationships within the industry graph topology. Quantified and unquantified data may be used for benchmarking and to compare trends. Information sets may be extracted by searching and/or traversing the industry graph topology.
