Abstract:
A computer implemented method of distributing a first relation amongst a set of orthogonal sub-relations, comprising:(a) identifying an orthogonal sub-relation of the set of orthogonal sub-relations; (b) removing the identified orthogonal sub-relation from the first relation; (c) replacing the removed orthogonal sub-relation with an associated reference to form a distributed relation, wherein the associated reference points to the removed sub-relation; and (d) repeating (a) through (c) for all orthogonal sub-relations included in the first relation so as to form a reduced first relation that is substantially reduced in size as compared to the first relation, such that the distributed relation is formed of the reduced first relation and the referenced orthogonal sub-relations.
