1. A method managing system information in an IF-MAP database being a graph database including a plurality of nodes and a plurality of edges each connecting one node to another node, the method comprising:

  • receiving system information;

    creating a first synthesized link linking a first system information identifier corresponding to the system information to a synthesized group identifier using a processor; and

    in response to a search or subscription request based on a second system information identifier, a link between two system information identifiers, or associated metadata, traversing a plurality of synthesized links including the first synthesized link and the synthesized group identifier to reach the first system information identifier,wherein the first system information identifier is not directly or indirectly linked to the second system information identifier without the first synthesized link;

    wherein the first and second system information identifiers and the synthesized group identifier are nodes in the graph database; and

    wherein each synthesized link corresponds to an edge in the graph database.
