METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONSTRUCTING AN INTERACTIVE ONLINE NETWORK OF LIVING AND NON-LIVING ENTITIES
First Claim
1. A method of constructing an interactive computerized network of living and non-living entities, comprising:
- i) providing an interactive computer system comprising a database, said system accessible to one or more users;
ii) creating an interactive computerized network comprising a plurality of nodes, each node associated with a defined node type representing living and non-living entities, each node linked to one or more nodes of the same node type or a different node type by linkages;
each linkage associated with a defined linkage type;
each said linkage type representing the type of relationship which exists between the entities represented by the nodes that are linked, the linkages of nodes thereby forming a computerized network.

Abstract
A method and system for generating an interactive computerized biological network consisting of living and non-living entities based upon the multiple relationship types which can exist between entities. The network can consist of multiple node types. Such node types can include persons, places, objects, and animals, each connected by one or more linkages associated with a precise linkage type representing the relationship type between a node and any other node type in the same network. Nodes are connected to other nodes in the network by linkages which can have multiple linkage types. Each linkage type represents the actual relationship type between the nodes, such as person, place, object or animal represented by the nodes.
