1. A method for displaying and manipulating a large dataset to facilitate identification, correlations or other useful relationships among the data in the dataset, the method comprising the steps of:

  • generating a planar view of a two-dimensional projection of the data in the dataset;

    continuously zooming the planar view, to provide a zoomed-in or a zoomed out view of at least a portion of the data, wherein the continuous zooming feature facilitates a user'"'"'s ability to maintain reference; and

    converting an abstraction of at least a portion of the data to a different level of abstraction during said continuously zooming step when a predetermined level of zooming-in has been reached, and converting the different level of abstraction back to the abstraction of the at least a portion of the data when a predetermined level of zooming-out has been reached.
