Type projection query of an instance space

摘要

Technologies are described herein for applying type projection queries to instance space graphs. Through the utilization of the technologies and concepts presented herein, a type projection may be used to describe the hierarchy of instance types connected by relationships within an instance space graph. A type projection query based on the type projection may be dynamically generated to query instances and relationships within the instance store. Filter criteria for the query can be expressed using a path notation. Results from of the type projection query may be provided as graphs of instances and relationships which are subgraphs of the queried instance space graph. Programmatic traversal of the resultant subgraph can navigate to each instance node within the result space.

1. A computer-implemented method comprising computer-implemented operations for:
utilizing a type query to obtain results, wherein the type query is based on a type projection comprising instance types related by relationship types, and the instance types describe types of at least one of at least one computer, at least one peripheral, at least one operating system, or at least one event; and providing a hierarchical representation generated based on the results.
