Abstract

A system comprises one or more computing systems. The computing systems provide access to one or more data stores that store a plurality of data objects and data hypergraphs. The plurality of data objects and data hypergraphs includes a plurality of interconnected and overlapping user digital econiches that each is owned by a respective user. A user digital econiche corresponds to a plurality of components of a respective user ecological and information environment and to associations and interactions among components. A user digital econiche includes a first set of user nodes, a second set of ecosystem entity nodes, a third set of interaction agent nodes, a first set of intra hyperedges, and a second set of inter hyperedges. A hyperedge connects any number of nodes. An intra hyperedge connects nodes accessible by one user only. An inter hyperedge connects at least one node accessible by more than one user.

a third set of interaction agent nodes, wherein each interaction agent node of the third set of interaction agent nodes corresponds to a respective proxy software agent executing interactions or creating nodes under authorization of one or more users that each is represented by a node from the first set of user nodes; and

a plurality of hyperedges, each hyperedge of the plurality of hyperedges defining a connection between nodes from the plurality of nodes or between other hyperedges from the plurality of hyperedges, the plurality of hyperedges including;

a first set of hyperedges that each connects nodes from the plurality of the user digital econiche hypergraph nodes, wherein at least one hyperedge from the first set of hyperedges directly connects more than two nodes, and

a second set of hyperedges that each connects two or more hyperedges from at least one of the first and the second set of hyperedges;

the one or more computing systems provide a user with a managerial status over one or more of at least one of nodes and hyperedges, the said managerial status including;

a first managerial privilege to acquire a set of access privileges including privileges to create nodes and hyperedges and to view., alter, or delete one or more of at least one of created nodes, hyperedges, and their attributes,

a second managerial privilege to transfer and relinquish a whole or a subset of the user managerial status over the one or more of at least one of nodes and hyperedges under user management to one or more other users for a specified or unspecified length of time and under specified or unspecified conditions, and

a third managerial privilege to share one or more access privileges from the first managerial privilege over the one or more of at least one of nodes, hyperedges, and their attributes with one or more other users for a specified or unspecified length of time and under specified or unspecified conditions; and

at least one user digital econiche hypergraph comprises one or more of at least one of collaborative nodes and collaborative hyperedges, wherein one or more users with managerial status over the one or more of at least one of collaborative nodes and collaborative hyperedges share their right to view or view and alter the one or more of at least one of nodes and hyperedges with one or more other users.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein the one or more computing systems store in the one or more hypergraph data stores a library of at least one of node and hyperedge templates for the respective types of user digital econiches, nodes and hyperedges, the templates being accessible by users in a process of creating and modifying respective user digital econiches, nodes and hyperedges.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein at least one hyperedge comprises a collection of one or more attributes, the collection of the attributes defining one or more interactions or relationships involving the respective hyperedge.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein at least one hyperedge in at least one user digital econiche hypergraph comprises one or more user nodes corresponding to users who each own a user digital econiche different from the one the said hyperedge belongs to and at least one of additional nodes and hyperedges with a whole or a subset of managerial status over them being granted to at least one of the said users.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the one or more computing systems are operable to access program logic storage storing at least one of a node and hyperedge indexing program logic which, when executed by the one or more computing systems, calculates popularity rating of at least one of the nodes and hyperedges and generates respective templates for nodes and hyperedges.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the one or more computing systems are operable to access program logic storage storing a search program logic which, when executed by the one or more computing systems, enables each user to navigate from the homepage to a needed node or a hyperedge, or to execute a query search.

7. A method comprising:

providing one or more computing systems and one or more hypergraph data stores that are accessed by the one or more computing systems and maintaining the one or more hypergraph data stores storing an information hypergraph comprising a plurality of users and a plurality of user digital econiches that each is owned by a respective user, wherein;

at least one user digital econiche from the plurality of user digital econiches comprises a respective user digital econiche hypergraph including;
