METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DATA EXPLORATION
First Claim
1. An apparatus for data exploration in a data processing system, comprising:
- an analyzing component for analyzing a data model to identify a first and a second data entity and a relationship between the first and the second data entity;
a generator component for creating a first and second atom data entity associated with the first and the second data entity;
a generator component for creating a link data entity associated with the relationship between the first and second data entity; and
an assignor component for assigning a behavior to one of the atom data entities or the link data entity, wherein the atom data entity exhibits a behavior associated with the link data entity and wherein the link data entity exhibits a behavior associated with one of the atom data entities.
