Abstract
A memory management system which can effectively determine whether, when, and to what extent, to modify a graph database based on changes in a paired relational database storing various data like media assets, such as photos and videos. The media assets are associated with data objects, such as moments, events, and people. The memory management system also includes one or more knowledge graph metadata networks (or more simply 'knowledge graphs'). The knowledge graph(s) store information which is related to the data stored by the relational databases. The memory management system detects changes in the data and data objects stored by the relational database(s). The memory management system can translate detected changes into modification instructions for the knowledge graph. The memory management system can also determine that it is unnecessary to modify the knowledge graph due to a detected change.
