4. The database system of claim 1 wherein each of said links has three attributes, namely a subject, an object and a verb associated with it, and wherein each of all three said attributes is either a meme or another link, and wherein each of the three said attributes is a property of a link and not specific to memes, and wherein said neuron is either a meme or a link but not both and not neither, and wherein each of all of said neurons has at least one or more aliases; wherein one of said aliases is used as the name of the neuron, and any of which said aliases is available to be used to refer to the neuron, and wherein the aliases of said neurons are resolved to said identifiers with the help of a first index, wherein said first index defines a mapping from each alias to said identifiers within the system; said first index further being case-insensitive.
1. A database system, comprising a computer having at least one processor; a non-relational transactional and analytical database executing on said processor, said database having at least two neurons, wherein one of said neurons is classified as a meme that is identified by at least one name, said name being termed as an alias, and the other said neuron is classified as a link, said link representing a logical three-way relationship between any three neurons in the database, and wherein said meme and said link are identified in terms of identifiers belonging to an arbitrary system of unique identification; and further wherein the database is operated through an application program interface (API); wherein each of said memes references a file of binary data stored with name equal to the identifier of said meme, file system metadata related to the file is stored within the meme and actual data of the file is stored on the underlying file-system.
