Abstract
Embodiments include a computer-implemented technique for determining a license position of an enterprise computer system represented in a standardized graph-based framework. The technique includes obtaining information indicative of licensable products and enforceable licenses of an enterprise computer system, tabulating that information in a graph database, and construing an enterprise infrastructure graph and a target element relationship pattern graph of the enterprise computer system based on the tabulated information in accordance with the standardized graph-based framework. Querying the standardized graph-based framework can determine an effect of a target element on a license position of the enterprise computer system by matching the target element relationship pattern graph to any subgraphs of the enterprise infrastructure graph. The method further includes determining a license position of the enterprise computer system based on any matching subgraphs returned in response to the query of the standardized graph-based framework.
