Abstract
In one general aspect, a wide area network fact information service system is disclosed. It includes a real time database that stores information about facts on the network by recording at least an identifier and an occurrence timepoint for each fact, with the occurrence timepoint identifying a time at which the fact occurred. It also includes fact-based expression logic operative to interact with expressions that define relationships between facts based on both their identifiers and their timepoints, a relationship database for storing representations of the relationships that satisfy the expressions, and a service interface operative to allow a service consumer to query the database of stored relationships.
