Recursive reporting via a spreadsheet
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented system that facilitates data management, comprising:
- an access component for recursively accessing a data source for relevant information;
a query component for processing a query for related information; and
a reporting component for generating a spreadsheet that includes the relevant information and related information.

Abstract
Architecture for accessing a repository of information and recursively processing the repository information for relevant information for output as a spreadsheet. Once the relevant information is returned, portions of the relevant information are used to develop and execute one or more queries against data sources for information related to the relevant information. A report is then generated in the form of a spreadsheet that includes the relevant and related information presented as one or more of text, a chart, a graph, matrix, and other combinations of visualizations and perceivable information (e.g., audio data). Moreover, the spreadsheet can include a hierarchical organization of sheets based on relationships in stored metadata definitions. The one or more queries can be processed against backend data sources under a centralized security regime optimized for rapidly aggregating data from across heterogeneous data sources.
