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, wherein a semantic net includes the entities and wherein the entities are linked to each other by a plurality of relations;
providing a visualization graph representing results responsive to a query with respect to a selected one of the plurality of entities;
representing a plurality of entities having a common relation as a first node on the visualization graph;
causing the entities comprised at the first node to be displayed in response to a first predetermined stimulus; and
causing the graph to restructure so that the displayed entities are replaced by the node in response to a further predetermined stimulus.

Abstract
A visualization graph is provided on a computer. Data corresponding to a plurality of entities is stored, wherein a semantic net includes the entities and wherein the entities are linked to each other by a plurality of relations. In response to a query with respect to an entity selected from the plurality of entities, providing a visualization graph representing the results of the query, representing a plurality of entities having a common relation as a first node on the visualization graph. In response to a predetermined stimulus causing the entities comprised at the first node to be displayed, and in response to a further predetermined stimulus causing the graph to restructure so that the node replaces the displayed entities.

8. A computer for providing a visualization graph, the computer comprising:
-
a storage medium having recorded therein processor readable code processable to provide a visualization graph;
a database for storing data corresponding to a plurality of entities, wherein a semantic net includes the entities and wherein the entities are linked to each other by a plurality of relations;
a query interface adapted, so that in response to a query with respect to an entity selected from the plurality of entities, a visualization graph is provided representing the results of the query, wherein the code includes representation code processable to represent a plurality of entities having a common relation as a node on the visualization graph;
causing the entities comprised at the node to be displayed in response to a predetermined stimulus; and
causing the graph to restructure so that the entities displayed are replaced by the node in response to a further predetermined stimulus. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11)

12. 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, wherein a semantic net includes the entities and wherein the entities are linked to each other by a plurality of relations;
providing a visualization graph representing the results of the query in response to a query with respect to an entity selected from the plurality of entities; and
representing a plurality of entities having a common relation as a first node on the visualization graph;
causing the entities comprised at the first node to be displayed in response to a predetermined stimulus; and
causing the graph to restructure so that the displayed entities are replaced by the node in response to a further predetermined stimulus.
