Instance Graph Database and Model Graph Database for Data Management of a Platform - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17937239 titled 'Instance Graph Database and Model Graph Database for Data Management of a Platform
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a coupled graph database pair for managing a platform, consisting of a model graph database in a manufacturer environment and an instance graph database in a customer environment, with relationships between the nodes of both databases representing different configurations of the platform.
- The model graph database contains nodes representing assemblies, sub-assemblies, and parts for a designed configuration of the platform.
- The instance graph database contains nodes representing assemblies, sub-assemblies, and parts for a real-time configuration of the platform.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in various industries such as manufacturing, engineering, and product design for efficient management of complex configurations and relationships between components.
Problems Solved
1. Simplifies the management of different configurations of a platform in both the design and real-time environments. 2. Enables better tracking and visualization of relationships between components in a platform.
Benefits
1. Improved organization and visualization of complex configurations. 2. Enhanced collaboration between manufacturers and customers. 3. Streamlined platform management processes.
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing product design processes, managing complex configurations in manufacturing, improving customer service through real-time platform configuration updates.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of relational databases for managing configurations, but the coupled graph database pair provides a more flexible and efficient solution for handling complex relationships between components in a platform.
Unanswered Questions
How does the coupled graph database pair handle data synchronization between the model and instance databases?
The article does not provide details on the specific mechanisms used for data synchronization between the model and instance graph databases.
What security measures are in place to protect the data stored in the model and instance graph databases?
The article does not address the security aspects of the coupled graph database pair and how data integrity and confidentiality are ensured.
Original Abstract Submitted
A coupled graph database pair for management of a platform is presented. The coupled graph database pair comprises a model graph database managed in a manufacturer environment, an instance graph database managed in a customer environment, and a plurality of relationships between the nodes of the model graph database and the nodes of the instance graph database. The model graph database comprises nodes of assemblies, sub-assemblies, and parts for a designed configuration of a model of the platform. The instance graph database comprises nodes of assemblies, sub-assemblies, and parts for a real-time configuration of the platform.
