The graph enabled recognition of changes roughly 200 days after W3c posted a new standard,
200 days after Microsoft released a new web browser beta, and 100 days after Wikipedia editors initiated new content.
It recognized these new changes without explicit linkages in the knowledge base of technologies. Thus, the hierarchical random graph approach may provide a new forecasting, analysis and design technique for architectural innovation.
