  • Publication number: 20240346052
    Abstract: A system and method to manage data associated with a merchant system to provide in response to a search query from an end user system. The system and method to generate, in a data graph associated with a merchant system, a first entity type including a first data field storing a first data value corresponding to the merchant system. A second entity type comprising a second data field storing a second data value corresponding to the merchant system is generated in the data graph. A relationship type between the first entity type and the second entity type is established. A first update to the first data value of the first entity type is generated. In view of the relationship type, a second update to the second data value of the second entity type is generated. The first update of the first entity type and the second update of the second entity type are stored in the data graph.

  • Publication number: 20240296350
    Abstract: A system includes at least one processor, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform a method that includes generating a knowledge graph having multiple nodes, each node including at least one field to store data, and being associated with at least one other node. The method further includes, at a particular node, defining a plurality of fields, such that a first field in the multiple fields has a dependence on a second field in the multiple fields. The method further includes receiving data at the knowledge graph, using the received data to define a value of the second field, using the value of the second field to generate a computed value for the first field based on the dependence, and updating the first field using the computed value.

  • Publication number: 20220245155
    Abstract: A system and method to manage a data graph including data associated with a user system. The system and method receive multiple input document streams from multiple different data sources. A first document is identified from one of the multiple input document streams, the first document having a first schema including data associated with the user system. The first document is transformed from the first schema to a second schema to generate a first transformed document including at least a portion of the data. The portion of the data of the transformed first document is merged into the data graph stored in a graph database.

  • Patent number: 11222048
    Abstract: A system and method to manage data associated with a merchant system to provide in response to a search query from an end user system. The system and method generate a custom entity type including one or more fields comprising first data corresponding to the merchant system. An update to the first data of the custom entity type can be received and an updated custom entity type is generated. The updated custom entity type is distributed to multiple business listing provider systems configured to provide search results associated with the merchant system in response to a search query from an end user system. The system and method can also generate a search experience interface including multiple input fields. The search experience interface is displayed to an end user to receive search terms via the first input and the second input field in response to a single search action.
