Abstract: A method and system for managing access to data. A plurality of data items is stored across a plurality of partitions according to a graph-based data model. The data model associates each data item with an identifier of a source entity pertaining to the data item, an identifier of a destination entity pertaining to the data item, and an identifier of a type of directed relationship pertaining to the data item from the source entity to the destination entity. When a lookup request is received identifying a source entity, a particular partition is identified based on the source entity identifier. A response to the lookup request is then returned that includes data item(s) from the identified partition.

Abstract: A social networking system enables users to join multiple user groups and create separate profiles for each group they join on the site. Each profile has a default set of user fields and a set of customized, administrator-created fields. Members of a group may create a profile when joining a particular group and may create the profile using a custom profile template generated for each group. Thus, if the same user joins a second group, they can create a new profile for the second group based on a profile template that is unique to the second group. The system may use information from the first profile to auto-populate the second profile if the second profile includes one or more of the same fields as the first profile. However, users may be able to edit the auto-populated information in the second profile to make it more specific to the second group.

Abstract translation: 社交网络系统使用户能够加入多个用户组，并为在网站上加入的每个组创建单独的配置文件。 每个配置文件都有一组默认的用户字段和一组自定义的管理员创建的字段。 组合成员可以在加入特定组时创建配置文件，并可以使用为每个组生成的自定义配置文件模板创建配置文件。 因此，如果相同的用户加入第二组，则他们可以基于第二组唯一的配置文件模板为第二组创建新配置文件。 如果第二轮廓包括与第一轮廓相同的一个或多个字段，则系统可以使用来自第一轮廓的信息来自动填充第二轮廓。 然而，用户可能能够编辑第二个配置文件中的自动填充信息，使其更具体到第二组。

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system that manages access to data. During operation, the system provides a graph-based data model of the data, wherein the graph-based model comprises a set of nodes and a set of directed edges among the nodes. Next, the system stores the graph-based data model in a set of partitions, wherein each partition from the set of partitions includes one or more nodes from the set of nodes and all outgoing edges from the one or more nodes. Finally, the system enables lookup of a set of outgoing edges associated with a source node from the one or more nodes.

Abstract: A method and system for managing access to data. A plurality of data items is stored across a plurality of partitions according to a graph-based data model. The data model associates each data item with an identifier of a source entity pertaining to the data item, an identifier of a destination entity pertaining to the data item, and an identifier of a type of directed relationship pertaining to the data item from the source entity to the destination entity. When a lookup request is received identifying a source entity and a type of directed relationship from the source entity, a particular partition is identified based on the source entity identifier. A response to the lookup request is then returned that includes data item(s) from the identified partition that are associated in the partition with both the identified source entity identifier and the identified directed relationship type.

Abstract: A social networking system that enables a member of social networking site to search for other members whose group profiles satisfy one or more search criteria. The system further enables the member to select one or more of the members whose profile satisfies the search criteria, and enables a communication between the member and the selected members. Thus, the member may send a communication to all members whose profiles satisfy the search criteria, or to a subset of those members whose profiles satisfy the search criteria. The communication may be an e-mail, an invitation, a chat message, a private positing on a public message board, a text message or any other suitable type of communication.
