Abstract

Methods, systems and computer program products for identifying a relationship between sub-units of an entity are described. The sub-units are segmented into one or more candidate related groups based on one or more general attributes and a pair of the sub-units of the one or more candidate related sub-units is selected. The pair of sub-units is analyzed to determine a relationship between the sub-units and the relationship between the sub-units is identified based on the determined relationship.
