<p>A method and system is presented for storing data in data cells (100) that contain only a single element of data. Each data cell (100) includes four components: an Entity Instance identifier ('O') (102), an Entity Type identifier ('E') (104) and Attribute Type identifier ('A') (106), and an Attribute Value 'V') (108). Groups of cells (100) with identical O (102) and E constitute a cell set (101). Relationships between cell sets (101) are created through the use of linking or synapse cells (110) that are created through a process of transmutation. Through the use of cell generations (204-210), it is possible to store information about attributes, entities, relationships, constraints, and default data formats in the same cell listing as the cell (100). The data cells (100) themselves can be stored in multiple, co-existing storage trees (500, 550) that are specialized for increased data query efficiency.</p> |
