Abstract:
1. A method comprising: determining, by a computer-based system configured for generating an entity graph, a relationship between a first entity and a second entity based upon internal data and online data associated with the first entity and the second entity; generating, by the computer-based system, the entity graph comprising at least two nodes and an edge connecting the at least two nodes, in response to the determining and based on attributes associated with the edge, calculating, by the computer-based system, attribute values associated with the edge; deriving, by the computer-based system and based on the attribute values, derived entities related to the first entity and the second entity, triggering, by the computer-based system, an updating of the entity graph; detecting, by the computer-based system, a change to the entity graph based on a trend, alerting, by the computer-based system, an application to take an action to adjust for the trend; tailoring, by the computer-based system, the two nodes based on the trend; recommending, by the computer-based system, the two nodes to other entities; and reducing, by the computer-based system, the distance between the two nodes, in response to the strengthening of the relationship between the first entity and the second entity.
