Claim:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: a. receiving by a graphical user interface (“GUI”) element an input representing a user selected medical issue; b. indexing and linking, by an indexing ontologies engine, documents and information in a plurality of databases to generate a set of enriched information to facilitate searching for data relevant to the medical issue; c. identifying by use of a processor executing a first identification module comprising a set of code a factor associated with a medical issue; d. controlling, by an enterprise server bus, access to a set of assets associated with the medical issue; e. identifying by the processor executing a second identification module the set of assets associated with the medical issue based upon the set of enriched information and a set of customizable factors, the set of customizable factors being associated with a user-selected set of weighting factors and comprising a set of scientific factors and a set of business factors, the set of customizable factors including one or more from the group consisting of: drug pipeline data; data on drugs in development; a set of financial metrics associated with a set of companies associated with the medical issue; a set of investment data related to the set of companies; and the relevance of various biological targets and the drugs in development against them to the area of focus; f. determining for presentation via the GUI a first graphical expression of the relative degree of relatedness of the set of assets associated with the medical issue; g. receiving a further input representing a user modification of at least one of the set of customizable factors; h. transforming the first graphical expression of the relative degree of relatedness of the set of assets associated with the medical issue into a second graphical expression of the relative degree of relatedness of the set of assets associated with the medical issue based on the user modification; and i. generating by a representation module for presentation via a display a manipulatable representation of the set of assets.
