  • Graph-based operations on an entity-relationship database
    Patent number: 11281700
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for performing actions of a graph-based activity on a subset of an entity-relationship database, wherein the database has entity instances related by relationship instances. Each relationship instance is associated with a relationship type. Each relationship type has associated metadata. Method steps include identifying an entity instance in the entity-relationship database upon which the action is to be performed, performing the action, determining one or more entity instances related to the identified entity instance, and for each determined entity instance, determining the relationship type of the relationship instance relating the determined entity instance to the identified entity instance, and determining, based upon the metadata associated with the relationship type, whether the action is to be performed on the determined entity instance, and repeating the method steps for each entity instance for which it is determined that the action is to be performed on that instance.
