ABSTRACT:
A non-relational transactional and analytical database is described. It has a novel data architecture that allows data to persist without requiring any schema definition. The database also provides a file system with in-built versioning, reliability and security and can be deployed in a distributed environment. The approach adopted is to break down data into its fundamental atomic components, called memes, and use a special type of graph (utilizing non-standard vertices and edges) to create logical relationships, represented by links, between these components. The database operational functionality is deployed through an application program interface (API). The underlying query language is based on recursive triplets of the form (subject, verb, object) and can be easily augmented with different query parsers, which translate from some source syntax to this syntax. The memes and links may be identified with Universally Unique Identifiers (UUIDs). Additionally, the database may provide file system manipulation functionality through the use of UUIDs.
