Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: processing a source object to derive a plurality of data elements; detecting a plurality of relationships, each relationship of the plurality of relationships comprising an association between at least one data element of the plurality of data elements and at least one stored data element of a database of stored data elements; automatically generating, by a computing system, a plurality of links corresponding to the plurality of relationships, each of the plurality of links comprising a relationship; for each link of the plurality of links, deriving a link strength, the link strength being based on the association between data elements comprising the link, wherein the detecting a plurality of relationships comprises detecting an implied relationship between two data elements by applying transitive reasoning using the link strength to the two data elements having a prior relationship with a common third element, wherein the link strength exceeds a determined threshold, and automatically reconciling a relational data element view with a geophysical view, the computing system being further configured to display an interactive, graphical representation of at least one of: the plurality of relationships; and the plurality of links, in a display device and in response to a received user input.
