`
`ABSTRACT
`
`Machine automated techniques are described for a method
`of data processing called Relationships Processing. A com-
`puting system is disclosed which provides for the high speed
`recording and extraction of data objects (entities) and for the
`development data representing a queried relationship
`between the entities. The system is expandable to handle the
`relatively voluminous data bases of large. commercial data
`repositories. A user defines set of entities and allowed rela-
`tionships between the entities. The user can expand this set
`of allowed entities and relationships at any time during the
`life of the system without reprogramming or compiling of
`computer program code or disrupting concurrent operational
`user of the system. Large systems can now be built that are
`no longer limited to a scope of design requirements known
`during initial systems development. For a given set of
`defined relationships the system allows the user to perform
`complex inquiries (again without programming at the code
`level) that would normally require multiple nested inquiries
`to be coded programmatically and would not achieve the
`performance levels of the Relationships Processor.
