Abstract
Technologies are described herein for applying type projection queries to instance space graphs. Through the utilization of the technologies and concepts presented herein, a type projection may be used to describe the hierarchy of instance types connected by relationships within an instance space graph. A type projection query based on the type projection may be dynamically generated to query instances and relationships within the instance store. Filter criteria for the query can be expressed using a path notation. Results from of the type projection query may be provided as graphs of instances and relationships which are subgraphs of the queried instance space graph. Programmatic traversal of the resultant subgraph can navigate to each instance node within the result space.
