Abstract
A method of generating graph data components stored in a graph database is provided. The method is implemented using a graph component generator computing device in communication with a memory. The method comprises receiving transaction data from a relational database, wherein transaction data is derived from transactions, processed by a payment processor, between a first merchant of a plurality of merchants and a first cardholder of a plurality of cardholders, defining a graph including creating at least a first node representing at least the first merchant and a second node representing the first cardholder, identifying at least one relationship between at least two nodes including the first node and the second node in the graph based, at least in part, on transaction data common to the at least two nodes, and generating at least one edge between the at least two nodes, representing a new relationship between the at least two nodes.
