FETL GraphDatabase

FETL GraphDatabase (Data Store Architecture) is a solution borne out of extensive research and development of the FETL EnergyForenics and FETL MobileWorkerArchiteture; a simple, brain-friendly and back-to-basics approach to analysing the inter-relationships in complex business data.

Modern relational database management systems (Oracle, MySQL, SQL Server, IBM DB2, ProgreSQL - amongst others) enable many people to access data by demystifying and simplifying the underlying complex system. However when most systems are built they contain multiple instances of the same object, word, day and date, requiring additional coding and yet more tables to make then searchable and usable as a responsive business application or for delivering robust business intelligence.

FETL GraphDatabase gets back to basics, from the ground-up, promoting the anti-abstraction argument: that almost 100% of functionality in business applications can be achieved in a pure graph based approach rather than a pseudo relational based approach.

Five simple basic concepts: Entities, Links, Contents, Natures and Changes are the core building blocks of the FETL approach. These concepts enable the following to be represented:

• Business Process Management (BPM) rules and cases
• Organisational hierarchies and roles
• Corporate and social networks
• Financial authorisation trees for new spend
• Business, department, group and person budgets
• Words, sentences, dictionaries for fast search
• Days, weeks, months, years, financial periods for grouping
• Key performance indictors and roll-up
