<p>An embodiment of a computer for storing, manipulating and retrieving data structures includes a memory configured to store a plurality of data in a plurality of data structures types including a first data structure type (18), a second data structure type (20) and a relationship data structure type (22). An interface (14) is configured to receive instructions and calls from an external structure and to respond to the instructions and the calls. A processor (12) is coupled to the memory and the interface circuit and configured to receive the instructions and to associate information in the instructions with the first data structure type (18), the second data structure type (20) and the relationship data structure type (22). The instruction including information to store in the relationship data structure type (22) that relates one or more of the first data structure type (18) and the second data structure type (20). The processor (12) is also configured to receive the calls and to manipulate the first data structure type (18), the second data structure type (20) and the relationship data structure type (22) according to the call, to retrieve a data structure type based on the call and to provide information in the first data structure type (18) as a call response. Advantages of the invention include the ability to characterize information and data structure types in a minimal set of primitives in order to model more complex systems.</p> |
