Throught such a graph we can query the system with the following question :<br />

– How can I travel from Trapani at 7 a.m. to Milan at 8 p.m. ?<br />

The query has as response something like this :<br />

You can go:<br />

from Trapani to Palermo at 9:00 o'clock by Train ,<br />

from Palermo to Pisa at 12:00 o'clock by Airbus,<br />

from Pisa to Milano at 5.30 p.m. by Train arriving at 7.30 p.m.<br />

...<br />

The inferntial engine can be builded using algoritm that finds subgraphs. This<br />

concept is shown below. By simply adding vertices and edges we can model any<br />

kind of situation.<br />

1.4 Subgraph<br />

A subgraph is a graph with this property : Set ( V, E ) Subgraph = Sub Set ( V, E )<br />

graph. A subgraph is a selection of graph vertices with a selection of edges related<br />

to selected vertices. If we have data linked to vertices and edges the information on<br />

the subgraph must be a selection of the information of the related vertices and<br />

edges.<br />
