Method for visualisation of status data in an electronic system
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for facilitating visualisation of status data in an electronic system, the status data comprising metadata, the metadata including a plurality of information context categories, and data nodes, each data node including specific instances of an information context category, the method comprising:
- selecting, by a computer, all possible data combinations and permutations of the information context categories, each data combination and permutation defining a respective hierarchy; and
for the each data combination and permutation performing by said computer;
estimating information content of data for each node of the respective hierarchy;
finding an informative tree corresponding to the respective hierarchy;
finding total entropy for all informative nodes in the informative tree; and
presenting a data combination and permutation corresponding to the informative tree with a lowest total entropy to the user.

Abstract
A method is disclosed for facilitating visualisation of status data in an electronic system. The status data comprises metadata including a plurality of information context categories. The status data also comprises data nodes, each data node including specific instances of a respective context category. The method starts with selecting possible data combinations and permutations of the information context categories, each permutation defining a respective hierarchy. For each permutation, information content of data for each node of the respective hierarchy is estimated and an informative tree and total entropy for all informative nodes are found. The permutation and the informative tree that has the lowest total entropy are then presented to the user.
