Abstract

A method for leaving hierarchical-embedded reviews for verified transactions comprising: (i) receiving a first provider entity data set; (ii) creating a first provider portion of a first graph data structure; (iii) creating a first customer entity node in the first graph data structure; (iv) receiving a new transaction data set including information indicative of a business transaction between the first customer entity and a first provider sub-entity of the plurality of sub-entities; (v) creating a new transaction node in the first graph data structure, with the new transaction node including data from the first new transaction data set; (vi) creating a pairwise connection in the first graph data structure between the new transaction node and the lower level node corresponding to the first provider sub-entity; and (vii) creating a pairwise connection in the first graph data structure between the new transaction node and the first customer entity node.

Dependent claims

A computer-implemented method (CIM) comprising:

receiving a first provider entity data set that identifies:
(i) a first provider entity;
and (ii) a plurality of sub-entities that are respectively considered as portions of the first provider entity;
creating a first provider portion of a first graph data structure, with the first provider portion of the first graph data structure including:
(i) a root level node corresponding to the first provider entity, (ii) lower level nodes respectively corresponding to the sub-entities of the first provider entity, and (iii) hierarchical connections among and between the root level node and the lower level nodes so that the first provider portion of the first graph forms a tree structure;
creating a first customer entity node in the first graph data structure;
receiving a new transaction data set including information indicative of a business transaction between the first customer entity and a first provider sub-entity of the plurality of sub-entities;
creating a new transaction node in the first graph data structure, with the new transaction node including data from the first new transaction data set;
creating a pairwise connection in the first graph data structure between the new transaction node and the lower level node corresponding to the first provider sub-entity;
and
creating a pairwise connection in the first graph data structure between the new transaction node and the first customer entity node.

A computer program product (CPP) comprising:

a set of storage device(s);
and
computer code stored collectively in the set of storage device(s), with the computer code including data and instructions to cause a processor(s) set to perform at least the following operations:
receiving a first provider entity data set that identifies:
(i) a first provider entity;
and (ii) a plurality of sub-entities that are respectively considered as portions of the first provider entity,
creating a first provider portion of a first graph data structure, with the first provider portion of the first graph data structure including:
(i) a root level node corresponding to the first provider entity, (ii) lower level nodes respectively corresponding to the sub-entities of the first provider entity, and (iii) hierarchical connections among and between the root level node and the lower level nodes so that the first provider portion of the first graph forms a tree structure,
creating a first customer entity node in the first graph data structure,
receiving a new transaction data set including information indicative of a business transaction between the first customer entity and a first provider sub-entity of the plurality of sub-entities,
creating a new transaction node in the first graph data structure, with the new transaction node including data from the first new transaction data set,
creating a pairwise connection in the first graph data structure between the new transaction node and the lower level node corresponding to the first provider sub-entity, and
creating a pairwise connection in the first graph data structure between the new transaction node and the first customer entity node.
