Method and System for Abstracting Information for Use in Link Analysis
First Claim
1. A method for abstracting information for use in link analysis comprising:
- representing a plurality of collected observable data points in a link-oriented dataset; and
abstracting information for use in link analysis from the plurality of collected observable data points by generating links between two or more of the plurality of observable data points.

Abstract
Observable data points are collected and organized into a link-oriented data set comprising nodes and links. Information is abstracted for use in link analysis by generating links between the collected data points, including deriving links and inducing links. A link can be induced by linking together a pair of nodes that satisfy a distance function. Exemplary distance functions that can be used to induce links include geo spatial proximity, attribute nearness, and name similarity. Paths can be identified between selected nodes of interest through a dataset operation, and nodes and/or links can be selectively included or excluded from the data set operation. The dataset can be augmented with pedigree information or one or more association nodes. Link information, including a trajectory and a connected path that selectively produces or excludes one or more intermediate nodes, can be displayed and/or produced in a specified format.
