Patent number: 11074299Abstract: A computer-implemented method, system and computer program product for identifying relationships of interest of entities in a data modeling environment, where the data modeling environment represents objects as entities with links representing relationships between the entities. A query is received, where the query includes entity(ies) and link(s) with at least one of the entities or links designated as an output item. The query is analyzed to identify each dumbbell in the query, where a dumbbell is a link with a first entity at a first end of the link and a second entity at a second end of the link. Each identified dumbbell is examined to determine if the dumbbell includes an output item; and, if the dumbbell includes an output item, adding the dumbbell to a catalogue of relationships if a dumbbell is not already listed having the link type and entity types of the identified dumbbell.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2019Date of Patent: July 27, 2021Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Gary J. Broyd, Robert L. Kerr, Michael P. Kirwan, Dominique Martindale
