Storing relative facts
  
 
Posted: Jan 6, 2016

I have read through all of the documentation extensively and now have a nice chat system setup for my home automation system which I am now expanding.

I cant seem to find a nice way to store the following information.

Example: Bob has a cat named Fluffy.

Normally the fact would just be Cat, Name and Fluffy. But adding in who owns the cat is where I am having problems.

Should I be sorting 2 seperate facts of Bob has a cat, and cat named fluffy. If so how do I link those 2 facts together? Or should I be storing this some how in a fact table?

Hope you can help. Thanks.

There are two mechanisms for storing “complex data”.
1. Facts can have facts as fields.  Eg.
    createfact( (Fluffy name cat)  owner Robert)

2. you can create JSON structures with ^jsonparse and query them or use ^jsonpath to access data.

Thanks Bruce. I will have a play around with both methods.
