Abstract:
1. At a computer system including a processor and a memory, in a computer networking environment including a plurality of computing systems, a computer-implemented method for determining a data insertion point in a data layout based on relative cardinalities between data objects, the method comprising: an act of receiving a user input indicating that an additional portion of information is to be added to an existing data layout, wherein the data layout comprises a plurality of different data objects; an act of accessing the plurality of data objects to determine relative cardinalities between the data objects in the data layout and the additional portion of information; an act of determining an optimal data insertion point for inserting the additional portion of information into the data layout based on the determined relative cardinalities; wherein the act of determining an optimal point includes an act of determining the insertion point that results in fewest blank cells; and an act of inserting the additional portion of information in the existing data layout at the determined optimal data insertion point.
