beta16linked
Beta16linked is a compact binary format and protocol for representing and traversing labeled directed graphs, designed to operate efficiently on memory-constrained hardware and in streaming contexts. It encodes graphs as a sequence of blocks that can be appended or streamed, enabling provenance tracking, sensor networks, and lightweight data interchange in beta software environments.
In beta16linked, a graph comprises nodes and edges. Each node has a 16-bit identifier and an optional
Beta16linked originated within the Beta16 project, an open-source effort focused on compact data representations for embedded
Limitations include the 16-bit address space, restricting graphs to 65,536 nodes per instance unless extended variants
