1 Claim

1. A method of executing computer instructions on at least one computing device in which the at least one computing device includes at least one processor and at least one memory, the method comprising:

executing computer instructions on the at least one processor of the at least one computing device, the computer instructions having been stored on the at least one memory; and

storing in the at least one memory of the at least one computing device any results of having executed the computer instructions on the at least one processor of the at least one computing device;

wherein the computer instructions to be executed comprise instructions for converting signal values for a first expression for more convenient processing and/or storage;

wherein the executing the converting instructions further comprising:

accessing, from memory, signal values for a first expression;

transforming the signal values for the first expression to signal values for a second expression, the first expression having a first expression type and the second expression having a second expression type;

the first and second expression types comprising at least one of the following expression types: a hierarchical edge, node labeled tree, and/or a symbol string;

storing, in the memory, the signal values corresponding to the second expression;

wherein the computer instructions to be executed further comprising:

accessing content from a database;

transforming the content to the second expression;

storing, in the memory, the content corresponding to the second expression.
