A method and associated system. Multiple virtual triples for an entity of multiple entities identified within a first data source are generated. Each virtual triple consists of a subject, a predicate, and an object. The subject is the entity. The predicate is a relationship between the entity and other entities identified within the first data source. The object is associated with an attribute of the entity. The subject, the predicate, and the object are each identified within the first data source. A degree of similarity between two entities of the two or more entities is identified by comparing the respective frequency metrics of the two entities. The two entities within the data structure are associated in response to a determination that an identified degree of similarity between the two entities exceeds a first predetermined threshold.

Data processing

A method and associated system. Entities within a first data source are identified. For each entity identified within the first data source, attributes of the entity identified within the first data source and/or relationships between the entity identified within the first data source and other entities identified within the first data source are identified. The attributes and/or relationships identified within the first data source are associated with a first entity identified within a data structure. For each entity identified within the first data source, a frequency metric characterizing the entity identified within the first data source is generated. The frequency metric is based on a frequency at which each attribute and/or relationship identified within the first data source is associated with the entity identified within the first data source. A degree of similarity between two entities of the entities is identified, by comparing the frequency metrics of the two entities.

A method to search for at least one relationship pattern in a plurality of runtime artifacts is provided. The method may include detecting at least one data manipulation statement in the plurality of runtime artifacts. The method may also include extracting at least one relationship clause from the detected at least one data manipulation statement. The method may further include parsing the extracted at least one relationship clause. The method may include generating at least one normalized syntax tree based on the parsed at least one relationship clause. The method may also include performing a classification and a snippet discovery on the generated at least one normalized syntax tree.
