1. A method of displaying correlations among information objects, the method comprising:
- receiving an information collection including a plurality of information objects;
generating a first visualization illustrating relationships between the information objects and displaying first visual information representing all the information objects of the collection, the first visualization being selected from a plurality of different available visualization types, wherein at least two of the visualization types can selectively be used simultaneously; and
selectively displaying second visual information representing each of a subset of the information objects in response to a query, the second visual information being different than the first visual information.

Abstract
A method of displaying correlations among information objects comprises receiving a query against a database; obtaining a query result set; and generating a visualization representing the components of the result set, the visualization including one of a plane and line to represent a data field, nodes representing data values, and links showing correlations among fields and values. Other visualization methods and apparatus are disclosed.

15. A method of displaying correlations among information objects, the method comprising:
-
receiving a query against a database; obtaining a query result set comprising information objects, the information objects individually comprising a data field and a data value associated with the data field; and generating a visualization, selected from a plurality of available visualization types, representing the information objects of the result set, the visualization including glyphs representing the information objects, one of a plane and line to represent the data field, nodes representing the data values, and links showing correlations among the data field, the information objects, and the nodes. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)

28. A computer readable medium embodying computer program code which, when loaded in a computer, causes the computer, in operation, to:
-
receive a query against a database obtain a query result set comprising information objects, the information objects individually comprising a data field and a data value associated with the data field; and generate a visualization, selected from a plurality of available visualization types, representing the information objects of the result set, the visualization including one of a plane and line to represent the data field, nodes representing the data values, and links showing correlations among the data field, the information objects, and the nodes. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38)
