1. A method of generating a timeline visualization for comparing two datasets of chronologically ordered data, the method comprising:

  • retrieving first and second datasets from a data storage system, wherein the first dataset includes at least a first data item associated with a first time value and a first duration value and the second dataset includes at least a second data item associated with a second time value;

    generating for display a detail timescale including at least the first time value, wherein the detail timescale displays time units in a first direction;

    generating for display a first item region, wherein the first item region is aligned with the detail timescale;

    generating for display a second item region, wherein the second item region is aligned with the detail timescale;

    generating for display in the first item region a first display object corresponding with the first data item, wherein the first display object includes a first display object position with respect to the detail timescale based on the first time value and a size based on the first duration value;

    generating for display in the second item region a second display object corresponding with the second data item, wherein the second display object includes a second display object position with respect to the detail timescale based on the second time value; and

    forwarding the detail timescale, the first and second item regions, and the first and second display objects to a user device adapted to display the timeline visualization.
