metagraph

• conceptual framework or structure
• that is used to describe relationships between graphs
• or to represent higher-level relationships within a single graph
• it’s essentially a graph of graphs, where each node in the metagraph
• could represent an entire graph or a complex substructure within a larger system
• aspects of a metagraph
  • modes represent graphs
    • in a metagraph, the nodes themselves can represent entire graphs or networks
    • this allows for modeling complex systems where each component is itself a complex structure
• edges represent relationships
  • the edges in a metagraph represent relationships between these component graphs
  • these relationships can be as simple as connections
  • or as complex as interactions involving multiple parameters or conditions
• hierarchical structure
  • metagraphs can represent hierarchical structures
  • where each level of the hierarchy represents a different level of abstraction or detail
• applications
  • machine learning
  • data science
  • network theory
  • computational biology
• used in situations where complex systems need to be modeled at multiple levels of abstraction
• provides a way to organize and model complex relationships by considering entire graphs
• as single entities and then analyzing the relationships between these entities
