Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented process of rendering representations of dataset entries, comprising: receiving, by a processor, an indication that a first facet was selected from a plurality of facets associated with a multi-faceted temporal dataset, wherein the multi-faceted temporal dataset includes a plurality of entries having one or more temporal attributes, wherein the entries are associable to a plurality of facets, and wherein each of the facets has multiple facet attributes associated therewith; in response to receipt of the indication, determining entries of a first subset such that the first subset includes all the entries of the dataset that are associated with a first facet attribute, wherein the first facet attribute is associated with the first facet; in response to receipt of the indication, determining entries of a second subset such that the second subset includes all the entries of the dataset that are associated with a second facet attribute, wherein the second facet attribute is associated with the first facet; rendering, with a display component, a first visual representation of the entries of the first subset, wherein the first visual representation is organized according to the temporal attributes of the entries of the first subset; and rendering, with the display component, a second visual representation of the entries of the second subset, wherein the second visual representation is organized according to the one or more temporal attributes of the entries of the second subset and is rendered for concurrent display with the first visual representation, wherein the entries of the first subset and the entries of the second subset are further organized according to a common temporal reference, and wherein the entries of the first subset and the entries of the second subset are individually aligned to points of the common temporal reference representing the temporal attributes of the individual entries.
