Abstract:
A system for viewing information, said system comprising,a computing device adapted to employ a plurality data objects contained within at least one data source, a plurality of templates, wherein each of said plurality of templates relates to one of a plurality of first spatial paradigms, and defines hierarchical relationships between said plurality of data objects, and a super template, wherein said super template relates to a second spatial paradigm, and defines further hierarchical relationships between said data objects, to generate an appearance of a subset of said data objects associated with both of at least one of said first spatial paradigms and said second spatial paradigm in a virtual space from an adjustable viewing perspective of a user, to enable said user to navigate said data objects in a substantially unrestricted fashion, to store said data objects associated with said plurality of first spatial paradigms in a storage module according to said hierarchical relationships defined by said plurality of templates, and to deconstruct at least one prior existing hierarchical relationship between said data objects before storing said data objects.
