The Design of a Universal Graph Model

In this research, we designed a universal graph model. We targeted this work on improving graph data organization representation, flexible formation of graph substructures for complex system modeling and generic processing of data organization. We form coherently composed graph modeling features including inheritance hierarchy of basic graph types, data participating graphs of multiple aspects, hierarchically composed and connected graphs, and property-based graph models based on existing graph models. Design cases are used to illustrate its achievement of our design goal.
