Methods and systems for providing a visualization graph
First Claim
1. A method of providing a visualization graph on a computer comprising:
- storing data corresponding to a plurality of entities and/or nodes, wherein a semantic net includes the entities and/or nodes and wherein the entities and/or nodes are linked to each other by a plurality of relations;
generating a query;
performing the query on the data, and outputting at least two of the stored data in the form of a visualization graph representing the results of the query, wherein the graph has a focus entity or node defined by a user or the query; and
using context information to determine at least one entity and/or node to be output in the results that is indirectly related to the focus entity or node.

Abstract
A visualization graph is provided on a computer by storing data corresponding to a plurality of entities and/or nodes, wherein a semantic net includes the entities and/or nodes and wherein the entities and/or nodes are linked to each other by a plurality of relations. A query is generated and performed on the data. Data is output in the form of a visualization graph representing the results of the query, wherein the graph has a focus entity or node defined by a user or the query. Context information is used to determine at least one entity and/or node to be output in the results that is indirectly related to the focus entity or node.

8. A computer for providing a visualization graph, comprising:
-
a database for storing data corresponding to a plurality of entities and/or nodes, wherein a semantic net includes the entities and/or nodes and wherein the entities and/or nodes are linked to each other by a plurality of relations;
a storage medium having recorded therein processor readable code processable to provide a visualization graph, the code including a query code processable to perform a query on the database;
an output device for outputting at least two of the plurality of data in the form of a visualization graph representing the results of the query, wherein the visualization graph has a focus entity or node defined by a user or the query, wherein the code further includes context code processable to express context information which is processable to determine at least one entity and/or node to be output in the results which is indirectly related to the focus entity or node. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A program storage device readable by a processing apparatus, the device embodying instructions executable by the processor to perform the steps of:
-
storing data corresponding to a plurality of entities and/or nodes, wherein a semantic net includes the entities and/or nodes and wherein the entities and/or nodes are linked to each other by a plurality of relations;
generating a query;
performing the query on the data, and outputting at least two of the stored data in the form of a visualization graph representing the results of the query, wherein the graph has a focus entity or node defined by a user or the query; and
using context information to determine at least one entity and/or node to be output in the results that is indirectly related to the focus entity or node.
