Abstract: A system and method for communicating events between applications. A first application receives event information for an event. A first action is performed by the first application in response to receiving the event information. The first application generates an event message comprising an event name and a message payload. The message payload comprises at least a portion of the event information. The first application publishes the event message by sending the event message to an event message pipeline. A second application may listen for the event message in the event message pipeline, receive the event message from the event message pipeline, and use the message payload to perform a second action, wherein the second action is different from the first action.

Abstract: Improving data retrieval by a computer, the data stored exclusively in the computer as a structure comprising a plurality of nodes connected by edges, wherein the edges indicate relationships among the plurality of nodes, and wherein the structure further comprise properties which store information that relate to the plurality of nodes. Metadata is stored as part of the structure, the metadata defining rules for updating the relationships among the plurality of nodes. A command is received to update at least one of the nodes, the edges, or the properties. The at least one of the nodes, the edges, or the properties, are updated according to the rules defined by the metadata.
