  • querying a data store containing entities, wherein a plurality of the entities are each connected to one or more other entities included in the data store, the querying resulting in a query result;

    creating a node data structure corresponding to each of a plurality of entities included in the query result and an edge data structure corresponding to each of the connections of the one or more entities included in the query result;

    displaying a plurality of nodes corresponding to the created node data structures and a plurality of edges corresponding to the created edge data structures on a display;

    receiving a node selection corresponding to one of the displayed nodes from a user;

    visually highlighting the selected node on the display;

    identifying one or more types of non-selected nodes in relation to the selected node, wherein zero or more of the non-selected nodes are identified as being a sender type to the selected node, zero or more of the non-selected nodes as being a receiver type to the selected node; and

    zero or more of the non-selected nodes as being a sender/receiver type to the selected node; and
