pathlinked
Pathlinked is a concept in information architecture and graph data management that describes organizing and connecting data items by explicit, navigable paths. Unlike models that emphasize only node-to-node relationships, pathlinked systems encode sequences of steps, allowing data to be traversed along semantically meaningful routes.
Each data item carries path annotations that identify its position within one or more paths. A path
Pathlinked concepts appear in knowledge graphs, content recommendation, provenance tracking, and complex workflow orchestration. They enable
A typical pathlinked architecture includes a path store for definitions, a path index to accelerate lookups,
Advantages include intuitive navigation, reusable path definitions, and efficient path queries. Limitations include potential path explosion,
