Claim 13:
14. A method for generating a market graphic using a market graph data structure, the method comprising:
providing a first user interface having an interactive query submission user interface element;
receiving a query that includes an identifier at the interactive query submission user interface element;
in response to receiving the query at the interactive query submission user interface element, evaluating a relational database using the query to extract a set of entities and corresponding relationships from electronic market data, wherein the relationships define a connection between a first entity and a second entity of the set of entities;
determining a property for each of the relationships;
generating the market graph data structure using the set of entities, relationships, and respective properties for each of the relationships such that the market graph data structure includes links;
analyzing the market graph data structure to identify a relationship path between a first node of the market graph data structure and a second node of the market graph data structure, wherein the relationship path includes a plurality of edges, at least one other node, and the first node and the second node are connected by the at least one other node and are not directly connected by an edge, the first node relating to first subject matter, the second node relating to second subject matter, and the at least one other node relating to at least one other subject matter, the at least one other node defining a relationship between the first node and the second node that includes an intermediate path defined by a first path between the first node and the at least one other node and a second path between the at least one other node and the second node;
adding key-value pairs that link to external databases associated with the first node, the second node, and the at least one other node via the market graph data structure links, the external databases including external information related to the first subject matter, the second subject matter, and the at least one other subject matter where the market graph data structure includes the key-value pairs and the key-value pairs provide the market graph data links to the external databases such that the market graph structure references the external information at the external database;
automatically accessing the external databases via the market graph data links provided by the key-value pairs when evaluating one of the first node, the second node, or the at least one other node such that the external information related to the first subject matter, the second subject matter, and the at least one other subject matter is automatically accessed;
generating the market graphic based on a node that corresponds to the identifier, a set of edges that correspond to the node, and the market graph data structure, the market graphic depicting market relationships between an entity that corresponds to the node and other entities that correspond with other nodes based on the accessed external information;
adding ones of the key-value pairs to ones of the first node, the second node; and the at least one other node to reduce future path processing and providing a second user interface that displays the market graphic.
