1. A method, comprising:
- receiving an input of information indicating at least one of a plurality of events;
receiving for each event an input of at least one of a plurality of attributes;
displaying at least one node for each of said at least one of a plurality of events;
displaying at least one of a plurality of edges for at least two of said plurality of events;
wherein said at least one node for each of said at least one of a plurality of events and said at least one of a plurality of edges for at least two of said plurality of events form a graph; and
thereupon creating a query to a database based upon said graph.
