ABSTRACT:
A computer implemented method (200) is provided for representing a network in a canonical form. The network has nodes and arcs. Each arc has a source node and a destination node. Each node has an identifier, and optionally, one or more properties. Various manipulations that may be carried out on the network's canonical representation are also provided. Further, a computer implemented method is provided for determining the equivalence between two networks either on the basis of the nodes' identifiers or some specific property of the nodes. An apparatus (100) for performing the above method (200) is also provided.
