Abstract

A non-transitory computer-readable medium stores a program for visualizing data. The program includes code for visualizing data, and code for enabling communication between users of the program.

Claims

1. A non-transitory computer-readable medium which stores a program for visualizing data, the program comprising:

code for visualizing data; and

code for enabling communication between users of the program.

2. A computer-readable medium according to claim 1, wherein the program is a web-based program.

3. A computer-readable medium according to claim 1, wherein the code for enabling communication between users comprises:

code for enabling a user of the program to define a community comprising a specified group of users of the program; and

code for enabling communication between users in the community.

4. A computer-readable medium according to claim 1, wherein the code for enabling communication between users of the program comprises code for enabling a first user of the program to view, on a first terminal, a workspace which is viewed by a second user of the program on a second terminal.

5. A computer-readable medium according to claim 1, wherein the code for enabling communication between users of the program comprises code for enabling a first user of the program to share visualized data with a second user of the program.

6. A computer-readable medium according to claim 1, wherein the code for enabling communication between users of the program comprises code for enabling a first user of the program to chat with a second user of the program in real-time.

7. A computer-readable medium according to claim 1, wherein the code for enabling communication between users of the program comprises code for enabling a user of the program to create and update a blog viewable by other users of the program.

8. A computer system for visualizing data, the computer system comprising at least one server configured to:

execute a program for visualizing data; and

enable communication between users of the program, via the program.

9. A computer system according to claim 8, wherein the program is a web-based program.

10. A computer system according to claim 8, wherein the program enables a user of the program to define a community comprising a specified group of users of the program, and enables communication between users in the community.

11. A computer system according to claim 8, wherein the program enables a first user of the program to view, on a first terminal, a workspace which is viewed by a second user of the program on a second terminal.

12. A computer system according to claim 8, wherein the program enables a first user of the program to share visualized data with a second user of the program.

13. A computer system according to claim 8, wherein the program enables a first user of the program to chat with a second user of the program in real-time.

14. A computer system according to claim 8, wherein the program enables a user of the program to create and update a blog viewable by other users of the program.

15. A method for visualizing data, comprising:

executing a program for visualizing data; and

enabling communication between users of the program, via the program.

16. A method according to claim 15, wherein the program is a web-based program.

17. A method according to claim 15, further comprising:

defining a community comprising a specified group of users of the program, via the program; and

enabling communication between users in the community.

18. A method according to claim 15, further comprising enabling a first user of the program to view, on a first terminal, a workspace which is viewed by a second user of the program on a second terminal.

19. A method according to claim 15, further comprising enabling a first user of the program to share visualized data with a second user of the program.

20. A method according to claim 15, further comprising enabling a first user of the program to chat with a second user of the program in real-time.
