Representing enterprise data in a knowledge graph

A method for storing data comprising operating a computer system to perform steps of:

• receiving enterprise data comprising data collected from one or more business systems in an enterprise;
• accessing a graph;
• using the enterprise data to identify at least one first-level node, from among a plurality of nodes comprising the graph, that corresponds to at least some of the enterprise data;
• using the enterprise data to identify one or more properties, from among a plurality of properties associated with the first-level node, that correspond to one or more properties or attributes of the enterprise data;
• identifying a database table that corresponds to the first-level node, the database table comprising a plurality of columns, some of the columns corresponding to some of the properties of the first-level node;
• and
• storing at least some of the enterprise data including:
• storing some of the enterprise data in instance nodes that are linked to the first-level node;
• and
• storing some of the enterprise data in the database table.

A computer system comprising:

• a data processing sub-system;
• a data storage sub-system having stored therein program code, which, when executed by the data processing sub-system, causes the data processing sub-system to:
• receive a plurality of data to be stored;
• access graph information representative of a graph comprising a plurality of first-level nodes, and including information about properties associated with each of the first-level nodes;
• identify at least one first-level node in the graph using the received data and the graph information;
• identify a database table that corresponds to the identified first-level node, the database table comprising columns corresponding to some of the properties associated with the identified first-level node;
• and
• store some of the received data in both the identified database table and in one or more second-level nodes of the graph that are linked to the identified first-level node.
