Abstract
A system for identifying relationships between database records includes a memory operable to store a plurality of records comprising a first record and at least one second record. Each record comprises at least one of a plurality of tokens. The system also includes one or more processors collectively operable to determine a weight associated with each of the tokens, compare at least one second record to the first record, and determine at least one relationship indicator based on the comparison and at least one of the weights. The at least one relationship indicator identifies a level of relationship between the first record and at least one second record.

A system for identifying relationships between database records, comprising:
- a memory operable to store a plurality of records comprising a first record and at least one second record, each record comprising at least one of a plurality of tokens;
- and
- one or more processors collectively operable to:
- determine a weight associated with each of the tokens;
- generate a correlithm object associated with at least one of the tokens, the correlithm object comprising a plurality of values defining a first point in a particular space, the particular space defined by a plurality of dimensions and including a plurality of points;
- generate a significance vector associated with the correlithm object;
- compare at least one second record to the first record;
- and
- determine at least one relationship indicator based on the comparison and at least one of the weights, the at least one relationship indicator identifying a level of relationship between the first record and at least one second record.
A method for identifying relationships between database records, comprising:
- determining a weight associated with each of a plurality of tokens, each token contained in at least one of a plurality of records, the plurality of records comprising a first record and at least one second record;
- generating a correlithm object associated with at least one of the tokens, the correlithm object comprising a plurality of values defining a first point in a particular space, the particular space defined by a plurality of dimensions and including a plurality of points;
- generating a significance vector associated with the correlithm object;
- comparing at least one second record to the first record;
- and
- determining at least one relationship indicator based on the comparison and at least one of the weights, the at least one relationship indicator identifying a level of relationship between the first record and at least one second record.
Software for identifying relationships between database records, the software embodied on at least one computer readable medium and operable when executed to:
- determine a weight associated with each of a plurality of tokens, each token contained in at least one of a plurality of records, the plurality of records comprising a first record and at least one second record;
- generate a correlithm object associated with at least one of the tokens, the correlithm object comprising a plurality of values defining a first point in a particular space, the particular space defined by a plurality of dimensions and including a plurality of points;
- generate a significance vector associated with the correlithm object;
- compare at least one second record to the first record;
- and
- determine at least one relationship indicator based on the comparison and at least one of the weights, the at least one relationship indicator identifying a level of relationship between the first record and at least one second record.
A system for identifying relationships between database records, comprising:
- means for storing a plurality of records comprising a first record and at least one second record, each record comprising at least one of a plurality of tokens;
- means for determining a weight associated with each of the tokens;
- means for generating a correlithm object associated with at least one of the tokens, the correlithm object comprising a plurality of values defining a first point in a particular space, the particular space defined by a plurality of dimensions and including a plurality of points;
- means for generating a significance vector associated with the correlithm object;
- means for comparing at least one second record to the first record;
- and
- means for determining at least one relationship indicator based on the comparison and at least one of the weights, the at least one relationship indicator identifying a level of relationship between the first record and at least one second record.
A method for identifying relationships between database records, comprising:
- communicating at least one of one or more documents, one or more text files, and one or more records to a server, each of the at least one of the documents, the text files, and the records comprising at least one of a plurality of tokens;
- and
- wherein the server is operable to:
- determine a weight associated with each of the tokens;
- generate a correlithm object associated with at least one of the tokens, the correlithm object comprising a plurality of values defining a first point in a particular space, the particular space defined by a plurality of dimensions and including a plurality of points;
- generate a significance vector associated with the correlithm object;
- compare two of the at least one of the documents, the text files and the records;
- and
- determine a relationship indicator based on the comparison and at least one of the weights, the at least one relationship indicator identifying a level of relationship between the two of the at least one of the documents, the text files and the records.
