Abstract
The present disclosure describes methods, systems, and computer program products for providing access to business network data. One method includes identifying a logical graph from business network linked graph data to be transformed into a resource graph, the logical graph including at least two nodes and at least one edge connecting a pair of nodes and defining a connection between the nodes. Each node is converted into a resource. A resource graph associated with the logical graph can be generated, where generation comprises, for each identified node, associating at least one attribute associated with the identified node as a resource attribute of the corresponding resource, adding at least one node connected to the identified node via an edge in the logical graph as a resource attribute of the corresponding resource, and dissolving at least one connection between the identified node and at least one other entity in the logical graph.
