  • APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR ORGANIZING DATA ITEMS HAVING TIME OF LIFE INTERVALS
    Publication number: 20140164412
    Abstract: A data structure for storing items of information having a time of validity includes a validity interval for each item of information, and methods for making and using the same. The items of information are organized in a data structure having nodes and edges connecting the nodes. This data structure is preferably a directed acyclic graph structure. The data structure includes parent nodes and child nodes. The validity interval specified for any child node generally is contained within the validity interval specified for that child node's parent node, such that the data structure includes no child nodes with a validity interval that falls outside of the validity interval of its parent node.
    Type: Application

  • Apparatus and methods for organizing data items having time of life intervals
    Patent number: 8341164
    Abstract: A data structure for storing items of information having a time of life includes a time of life interval for each item of information. The items of information are organized in a data structure having nodes and edges connecting the nodes. This data structure is preferably a directed acyclic graph structure. The data structure includes parent nodes and child nodes. The time interval specified for any child node must always be contained within the time interval specified for that child node's parent node, such that the data structure includes no child nodes with a time of life interval that falls outside of the time of life interval of its parent node.
