134. A method comprising:
-
receiving an indication of a set of base elements; receiving a first user input indicating a set of user elements; displaying a visual representation effective to enable comparison between the base elements and the user elements, wherein; the user elements are displayed in layers over the base elements, the user elements have a common symbol or image format, and the user elements are further actionable by a user such that selection of an individual user element causes display of a details layer corresponding to the selected individual user element over one or more base elements, the details layer comprising further information regarding the selected element; and the base elements and user elements are each given a slot in the visual representation, wherein the slot is designated by coordinates representing multiple real or symbolic relationships to other elements; and hiding subsets of the user elements or base elements on the visual representation, wherein the visual representation includes one or more display control panels with graphic and text list selectors that, in response to a second user input or a command from an automatic updating component, are configured to call to a database to determine the subset of elements to be hidden from the visual representation. - View Dependent Claims (135, 136, 137, 138, 139, 140, 141, 142, 143)

144. A computer readable storage media storing instructions configured to, in response to being executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:
-
receiving an indication of a set of base elements; receiving a first user input indicating a set of user elements; displaying a visual representation effective to enable comparison between the base elements and the user elements, wherein; the user elements are displayed in layers over the base elements, the user elements have a common symbol or image format, and the user elements are further actionable by a user such that selection of an individual user element causes display of a details layer corresponding to the selected individual user element over one or more base elements, the details layer comprising further information regarding the selected element; and the base elements and user elements are each given a slot in the visual representation, wherein the slot is designated by coordinates representing multiple real or symbolic relationships to other elements; and hiding subsets of the user elements or base elements on the visual representation, wherein the visual representation includes one or more display control panels with graphic and text list selectors that, in response to a second user input or a command from an automatic updating component, are configured to call to a database to determine the subset of elements to be hidden from the visual representation. - View Dependent Claims (145, 146, 147, 148, 149)

150. A system comprising:
-
a user input device configured to receive a first user input indicating a set of user elements; a display configured to display a visual representation effective to enable comparison between the user elements and a set of base elements, wherein; the user elements are displayed in layers over the base elements, the user elements each have their own symbol or common image format, and the user elements are further actionable by a user such that selection of an individual user element causes display of a details layer over one or more base elements, the details layer comprising further information regarding the selected element; the base elements and user elements are each given a slot on a display, wherein the slot is designated by coordinates representing multiple real or symbolic relationships to other elements; and the visual representation includes one or more display control panels with graphic and text list selectors that, in response to a second user input or a command from an automatic updating component, are configured to call to a database to determine a subset of elements to be added or subtracted from the visual representation. - View Dependent Claims (151, 152, 153)
