First Claim
1. A method for browsing a datastore of data objects, the method comprising:
- providing a first sentence for display in a first region of a user interface, the first sentence having a subject, verb and object, the subject representing a first data object from the datastore of data objects and the object representing at least a second data object from the datastore of data objects that is related to the first data object;
receiving a user input selecting the first sentence;
providing, for display in a second region of the user interface, one or more attributes of the first data object represented by the subject of the first sentence; and
providing, for display in a third region of the user interface, one or more attributes of the second data object represented by the object of the first sentence.

Abstract
Systems and methods for searching and browsing a data store of contextually related data objects. The system includes a search/browse module that receives a search query. The search/browse module identifies data objects that match the search query and generates sentences from data objects that are contextually related to the matching data objects. The sentences are human-readable sentences, for example in subject-verb-object format, where each sentence represents the relationship between two data objects. The sentences are output for display as a hierarchy of sentences. Additionally, a user can browse the data store of contextually related data objects by selecting a sentence that is displayed to the user. The search/browse module then outputs attributes of the data object represented by the sentence for display in two separate regions of a user interface.
