66 Chapter 4 / Undirected Graph Template Figure 4.7 shows a model for the LinkedIn network using the node and edge undirected graph template. The LinkedIn Web site manages extensive data about members that Figure 4.7 does not show as the emphasis is on the template. 4.2 Connection Undirected Graph Template 4.2.1 UML Template Figure 4.8 elaborates the node and edge template, promoting the connection between nodes and edges to an entity type. Figure 4.8, as stated, does not permit unconnected Nodes. You could add a relationship between UDG and Node if unconnected Nodes were important. A UDG (undirected graph) is a set of nodes and a set of edges that connect nodes. You need not show UDG in a use of the template. A Node is an entity type whose records are Figure 4.6 Node and edge undirected graph: Populated tables.

A Connection is the linking between a Node and an Edge. With this template the names of nodes and edges are globally unique. There is no context to provide an alternative approach to naming. Figure 4.8 lacks the constraint that related nodes and edges must all belong to the same undirected graph. 4.2.2 IDEF1X Template Figure 4.9 restates Figure 4.8 with the IDEF1X notation. The following are foreign keys: udgID references UDG, nodeID references Node, and edgeID references Edge. The combi- nation of nodeID + edgeID need not be unique for a Connection as a Node and Edge can con- nect twice. 4.2.3 SQL Queries Figure 4.10 and Figure 4.11 show SQL queries for common traversals of the template. The colon prefix denotes variable values that must be provided for each query. 4.2.4 Sample Populated Tables Figure 4.12 and Figure 4.13 show connection undirected graph tables populated with data. The values of the IDs are arbitrary, but internally consistent. <UDG> <Node> <Edge> 0 1 1 * 21 Figure 4.8 Connection undirected graph: UML template.

A manufacturing plant can have a variety of equipment that is connected by piping. For stress calculations, all that matters is that the equipment is connected. Stress calculations ensure that piping does not break under the load of forces such as wind and temperature changes. 4.3 Undirected Graph Changing over Time Template This template adds time intervals to the Node and Edge entity types from Section 4.1. 4.3.1 UML Template Figure 4.15 shows the template for the node and edge undirected graphs that change over time, extending the template in Figure 4.2. The template in Figure 4.15 cannot handle edges that connect twice to the same node. A UDG (undirected graph) is a set of nodes and a set of edges that connect nodes. (Note: in an undirected graph all the nodes need not be connected.) You need not show UDG in a Figure 4.13 Connection undirected graph: Populated tables.

An Edge is a coupling between Nodes. With this template the names of nodes and edges are globally unique. There is no context to provide an alternative approach to naming. 4.3.2 IDEF1X Template Figure 4.16 restates Figure 4.15 with the IDEF1X notation. The following are foreign keys: udgID references UDG, nodeID references Node, and edgeID references Edge. In Figure 4.16 the node name can change over time (three part candidate key—nodeName + effective- Date + expirationDate), but the node name could also be invariant over time (candidate key of nodeName alone). Similarly the edge name could be invariant over time. 4.3.3 SQL Queries Figure 4.17 and Figure 4.18 show SQL queries for common traversals of the template. The colon prefix denotes variable values that must be provided for each query. With this template an edge cannot connect twice to the same node, so there is no need to group nodes in Figure 4.18. 4.3.4 Sample Populated Tables Figure 4.19 shows tables populated with data for the node and edge undirected graph chang- ing over time. The values of the IDs are arbitrary, but internally consistent. A null effective- * 2 <UDG> 0 1 0 1 ** Figure 4.15 Undirected graph changing over time: UML template.

Nodes were important. A UDG (undirected graph) is a set of nodes and a set of edges that connect nodes. You need not show UDG in a use of the template. A Node is an entity type whose records. combi- nation of nodeID + edgeID need not be unique for a Connection as a Node and Edge can con- nect twice. 4.2.3 SQL Queries Figure 4.10 and Figure 4.11 show SQL queries for common traversals of the.
