1. A system for managing, analyzing, navigating or searching of data information across one or more sources within a computer network, the system being configured for aligning and connecting unstructured, heterogenic metadata describing data information extracted from the one or more sources in order to provide a homogenous structure of metadata describing the data information, thereby enabling access to the data information in a contextual manner, the system comprising:
a fixed layer network of metadata entities, entity types, entity relations and entity relation types defining internal multiple non-linear relationships between the metadata entities;
a mapper configured to select and structure the metadata describing the data information extracted from the one or more sources, the mapper comprising:
a metadata curation module configured to process the metadata extracted from the one or more sources according to a set of rules and criteria; and
a relationship exported module configured to create one or more initial relational network clusters, in which the metadata is represented as separate entities with relationships to a file entity, based on the processed metadata from the metadata curation module, the relationship exporter module is further configured to export the initial metadata cluster to the relational network of the fixed layer and further configured to calculate a score for each metadata instance, the scoring signifying the quality, trustworthiness and usefulness of each metadata instance;
the mapper being further configured to parse and map the one or more relational network clusters created by the relationship exporter module to the relational structure of the fixed layer network, thereby creating a relational network with relationships between the metadata describing the data information and the metadata entities of the fixed layer network, all metadata instances of the fixed layer having a calculated score, a combined score of the metadata of the initial cluster and the fixed layer is determined and provided as a property for the relationship;
at least one of a weight and probability of being correct is determined for relationships based on the relationship properties and the metadata for increasing accuracy of navigation of the data information.
