Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method of interactive visualization of federated tags via an interactive graphical user interface, comprising: displaying on the interactive graphical user interface a sphere with a central circular disk that represents a current computer system of a plurality of federated computing systems, and a second circular disk that represents a second federated computer system of the plurality of federated computing systems as part of the sphere positioned parallel above or below the central circular disk; displaying a current tag comprising a hyperlink to and representing content of a first resource stored in a current storage of the current computer system on the interactive graphical user interface, where the current tag is displayed on a surface of the central circular disk; displaying a second tag retrieved from the second federated computer system, and comprising a hyperlink to and representing content of a second resource stored in a second storage of the second federated computer system on the interactive graphical user interface, where the second tag is displayed on a surface of the second circular disk; rotating the sphere, in response to a detected user input, around a first axis running through a rotational symmetry axis of the central circular disk; and displaying on the interactive graphical user interface on the surface of the central circular disk one or more additional tags, each comprising a hyperlink to and representing content of an additional resource stored in the current storage, the one or more additional tags becoming visible by the rotation of the sphere around the first axis.
