1. A computer-implemented method of visualizing data on a display device, comprising:
- pre-defining, via a user interface, multiple relation dimensions, wherein each relation dimension represents a property about a relation between documents and is associated with a set of attributes;
extracting dimension metadata from multiple documents;
populating one or more of the pre-defined relation dimensions with the extracted dimension metadata;
determining, based on the extracted dimension metadata, one or more relations between the documents along the one or more relation dimensions;
presenting, on the display device, a relation graph that represents the documents interconnected by the one or more relations; and
wherein the determining the one or more relations between the documents comprisesdefining at least one hierarchy of dimensions, anddetermining the one or more relations between the documents that use at least one dimension in the hierarchy of dimensions.

Abstract
Described herein is a technology for visualizing data. In accordance with some implementations, dimension metadata is automatically extracted from multiple documents. The extracted dimension metadata may be used to populate one or more relation dimensions. Based on the dimension metadata, one or more relations between the documents are determined along the one or more relation dimensions. A relation graph is presented to represent the documents interconnected by the one or more relations.
