Abstract

Data may be modeled as an undirected graph. A set of entities and a set of attributes may be defined. A set of relationships may be defined to represent semantic associations with each association connecting at least two entities. Attributes may be associated with entities rather than with relationships. A hierarchical query language with a set of atomic operations on modeled data may be employed. The modeled data may be displayed on a display unit.
