1. A method of searching a database of data elements, the method comprising:
- generating a search query to identify a first set of one or more data elements in the database, based on the first set, identifying a second set of one or more data elements in the database, where the data elements of the second set are related to one or more of the data elements of the first set, and generating data based on the data elements of the first and second sets and the relationships therebetween.

Abstract
The software system described processes a user query for information and organizes, analyzes and presents in a graphic representation, the relevant data for the user, allowing the user to immediately and intrinsically infer the existence of relationships and trends that would normally not have been apparent otherwise. This method supports decision making to an improved level and is capable of presenting data relationships across multiple planes and accessing dissimilar data sets. The ability to then access the underlying data is also disclosed.
