     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
     Various embodiments of the present invention now will be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which some, but not all embodiments of the inventions are shown. Indeed, these inventions may be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will satisfy applicable legal requirements. The term “or” is used herein in both the alternative and conjunctive sense, unless otherwise indicated. The terms “illustrative” and “exemplary” are used to be examples with no indication of quality level. Like numbers refer to like elements throughout. Moreover, while certain embodiments of the present invention are described with reference to predictive data analysis, one of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that the disclosed concepts can be used to perform other types of data analysis. 
     I. OVERVIEW 
     Various embodiments of the present invention address technical shortcomings of traditional graph-based databases. For example, various embodiments of the present invention introduce innovative data models that process relationships between data objects not as static associations that are recorded independent of those data objects, but as dynamic associations that are recorded and absorbed by the data objects according to various attributes of those data objects. According to some aspects, a data object has relational awareness score with respect to each of its associated data object relationships. This allows the data object to have an independent recognition of various data object relationships, including data object relationships that are typically modeled indirect data object relationships in traditional graph models, while being able to distinguish between more significant data object relationships (e.g., data object relationships having higher respective relational awareness scores) and less significant data object relationships (e.g., data object relationships having lower respective relational awareness scores). 
     In traditional graph-based data models, relationships between data objects are processed and recorded as static associations defined by underlying semantics of data. For example, to show that John is an employee of a subsidiary of the XYZ company, a traditional graph-based model may record a relationship between John and his employer as well as a relationship between John&#39;s employer and the XYZ company. In such graph-based data models, depending on the underlying schema definition for a data object in the relevant graph-based database, each data object (e.g., the data object corresponding to John) either has no relational awareness scope (e.g., is simply a data object referenced by a relationship data object) or a relational awareness scope limited to direct relationships (e.g., is simply aware of the “is employed by” relationship with his employer). 
     In this way, in a traditional graph-based database, the relational awareness of data objects is at best limited by conceptual semantics of the node structure of the graph model. This is despite the fact that such semantics may provide a poor way of modeling functional significance relationships between data objects. The result is ineffective databases that fail to perform efficient and effective data retrieval and/or data visualization. Relatedly, because of the rigid semantic structure of such databases, they are not very scalable, because effective integration of external data objects requires mapping of such external data objects into a rigid and complex structure of restrictive relationships. 
     Various embodiments of the present invention address the noted shortcomings of the traditional graph-based database by introducing data models that process relationships between data objects not as static associations that are recorded independent of those data objects, but as dynamic associations that are recorded and absorbed by the data objects according to various attributes of those data objects. For example, various embodiments of the present invention enable recording numerous relationships between data objects as well as associating each recorded relationship with a dynamically-generated relational awareness score that indicates the significance of relationships to associated data objects. As discussed in greater detail below, relational awareness scores for particular data objects may be determined based at least in part on individual attributes of the particular data objects, individual attributes of hierarchical parent data objects of the particular data objects, individual attributes of data objects that are operationally related to the particular data objects, individual attributes of data objects that are deemed sufficiently similar to the particular data objects, significance of data objects and/or data object relationships to environment spaces of a data interaction environment, and/or the like. 
     Through utilizing the dynamic relational awareness concepts described herein, data retrieval and/or data visualization may be rendered more efficient and effective. Various embodiments of the present invention introduce efficient techniques for data retrieval and/or data visualization that utilize relational awareness scores and/or absorption scores. Furthermore, utilizing the dynamic relational awareness concepts described herein that are more scalable and are better capable of integrating external data objects into a relationally aware data model compared to existing data management solutions. Various embodiments of the present invention introduce efficient techniques for efficiently and effectively integrating external data objects into relationally aware data models. Through utilizing at least one of the dynamic relational awareness concepts described herein, the data retrieval concepts discussed herein, the data visualization concepts described, and the external integration concepts described herein, various embodiments of the present invention address various shortcomings of existing data management solutions (e.g., various shortcomings of existing graph-based data management solutions) and make important technical contributions to efficiency and effectiveness of such data management solutions. 
     Furthermore, various embodiments of the present invention dynamically modify data models (e.g., dynamically define relations between data objects and/or relational parameters for relations between data objects) based on an operational environment of an end-user interacting with a data interaction platform. In doing so, the noted embodiments of the present invention increase efficiency and user-friendliness of data retrieval and/or data searching by taking into account environment and/or contextual considerations in utilizing various relationships between the data objects to perform the noted data retrieval and/or data searching operations. The described environmentally dynamic data modeling techniques enable defining a large number of data object relationships at a time prior to a data retrieval session and utilizing a portion of the large number of data object relationships at a time of the data retrieval session. In this way, the described environmentally dynamic data modeling techniques differ from static data modeling techniques utilized in a variety of data modeling environments, such as relational data modeling environments, graph-based data modeling environments, static schema-based data modeling environments, etc. 
     Moreover, various embodiments of the present invention introduce dynamic data modeling techniques that enable utilizing machine learning and/or artificial intelligence techniques to set parameters that define relevance of inter-object relationships for data retrieval and/or data searching applications. In doing so, the noted embodiments of the present invention increase efficiency and user-friendliness of data retrieval and/or data searching by integrating predictive inferences (e.g., predictive inferences based on past user activities) in determining relevance of particular inter-object relationships for particular data retrieval and/or data searching tasks (e.g., particular data retrieval and/or data searching tasks defined with respect to an operational environment associated with such tasks). Examples of machine learning techniques used to infer relationship parameters based on past user activity data include techniques that utilize recurrent neural network models as well as techniques that utilize online learning models, such as techniques that utilizes a follow-the-regularized-leader online learning model. 
     II. DEFINITIONS OF CERTAIN TERMS 
     The term “individual absorption score” may refer to data that indicate an estimated relational awareness tendency of a particular data object given one or more individual attributes of the particular data object. For example, based at least in part on an example model for inferring individual absorption scores, a data object associated with a particular individual person having a high educational degree may be deemed to have a high absorption score. As another example, based at least in part on another example model for generating individual absorption scores, a data object a data object associated with a particular individual person having a particular physical profile (e.g., age, height, weight, and/or the like) may be deemed to have a high absorption score. 
     The term “hierarchical absorption score” may refer to data that indicate an estimated relational awareness tendency of a particular data object given one or more individual attributes of a parent data object of the particular data object. In some embodiments, the hierarchical absorption score for the data object is determined based at least in part on each individual absorption score for a parent data object that is a hierarchical parent of the data object. In some embodiments, the one or more parent data objects for a particular data object include a hierarchical meta-type of the particular data object, where the hierarchical meta-type of the particular data object indicates whether the particular data object is comprising one or more related hierarchical meta-type designations of a plurality of predefined hierarchical meta-type designations. In some embodiments, the plurality of predefined hierarchical meta-type designations include: a first predefined hierarchical meta-type designation associated with living real-world entities, a second predefined hierarchical meta-type designation associated with non-living-object real-world entities, a third predefined hierarchical meta-type designation associated with location-defining real-world entities, a fourth predefined hierarchical meta-type designation associated with time-defining real-world entities, a fifth predefined hierarchical meta-type designation associated with communication-defining entities, a sixth predefined hierarchical meta-type designation associated with group-defining entities, and a seventh predefined hierarchical meta-type designation associated with knowledge-defining entities. 
     The term “operational absorption score” may refer to data that indicate an estimated relational awareness tendency of a particular data object given one or more individual attributes of at least one data object that is deemed to be operationally related to (e.g., have a sufficiently strong relationship with) the particular data object. In some embodiments, the operational absorption score for the data object is determined based at least in part on each individual absorption score for a related data object that is operationally related to the particular data object. In some embodiments, a related data object is deemed related to a particular data object if there is a non-hierarchical relationship between the two data objects. In some embodiments, the one or more related data objects for a particular data object of include one or more user-defining objects associated with the particular data object and one or more access-defining data objects associated with the particular data object. In some embodiments, the one or more user-defining objects associated with the particular data object include one or more primary user-defining objects associated with the particular data object and one or more collaborator user-defining objects associated with the particular data object. In some embodiments, the one or more access-defining data objects associated with the particular data object include one or more sharing space data objects associated with the particular data object (e.g., a public sharing space data object, a collaborator space object, a shared space object, and/or the like). 
     The term “environment-based absorption score” may refer to data that indicate an estimated relational significance of the particular data object relationship given an environment state of the data interaction platform. In some embodiments, the environment state of the data interaction platform is selected from a plurality of candidate environment states of the data interaction platform. In some of those embodiments, the plurality of candidate environment states of the data interaction platform indicates at least one of the following: one or more private environment states, one or more professional environment states, one or more leisure environment state, and one or more public environment states. 
     The term “environment state” may refer to data that indicate an inferred user purpose and/or an indicated user purpose behind usage of a software environment such as a data interaction platform at a particular time. Environment states may be generated based at least in part on user-supplied information and/or by performing machine learning analysis of the usages of data at different time intervals and/or in different locations. For example, a data interaction platform computing entity may infer based at least in part on user interaction data that the user uses separate groups of data objects at different time intervals and thus conclude that the separate groups of data objects belong to different environments. Moreover, selection of one or more environment states for a particular usage session may be performed based at least in part on explicit user selection and/or based at least in part on detecting that the user is at a time-of-day and/or at a location associated with a particular environment state. For example, a data interaction platform computing entity may infer a “working” environment state for a particular usage session by a user during working hours and/or while the user is located at a geographic location of the user&#39;s office. As further discussed below, an innovative aspect of the present invention relates to utilizing relational awareness signals provided by the environment states for usage of a data interaction platform to generate relational awareness scores for particular data objects. In some embodiments, the environment state of a data interaction platform is selected from a plurality of candidate environment states of the data interaction platform. In some of those embodiments, the plurality of candidate environment states of the data interaction platform indicates at least one of the following: one or more private environment states, one or more professional environment states, one or more leisure environment state, and one or more public environment states.

According to some aspects of the present invention, a data object has relational awareness score with respect to each of its associated data object relationships. This allows the data object to have an independent recognition of various data object relationships, including data object relationships that are typically modeled indirect data object relationships in traditional graph models, while being able to distinguish between more significant data object relationships (e.g., data object relationships having higher respective relational awareness scores) and less significant data object relationships (e.g., data object relationships having lower respective relational awareness scores). 
     The term “absorption metric” may refer to data that indicate a property of the particular data object that is determined based at least in part on the individual attributes for the particular object and that can be used to estimate the individual absorption score of the particular data object.

     V. EXEMPLARY SYSTEM OPERATIONS 
     Various embodiments of the present invention address technical shortcomings of traditional graph-based databases. For example, various embodiments of the present invention introduce innovative data models that process relationships between data objects not as static associations that are recorded independent of those data objects, but as dynamic associations that are recorded and absorbed by the data objects according to various attributes of those data objects. According to some aspects, a data object has relational awareness score with respect to each of its associated data object relationships. This allows the data object to have an independent recognition of various data object relationships, including data object relationships that are typically modeled indirect data object relationships in traditional graph models, while being able to distinguish between more significant data object relationships (e.g., data object relationships having higher respective relational awareness scores) and less significant data object relationships (e.g., data object relationships having lower respective relational awareness scores). 
     Various embodiments of the present invention address the noted shortcomings of the traditional graph-based database by introducing data models that process relationships between data objects not as static associations that are recorded independent of those data objects, but as dynamic associations that are recorded and absorbed by the data objects according to various attributes of those data objects. For example, various embodiments of the present invention enable recording numerous relationships between data objects as well as associating each recorded relationship with a dynamically-generated relational awareness score that indicates the significance of relationships to associated data objects. As discussed in greater detail below, relational awareness scores for particular data objects may be determined based at least in part on individual attributes of the particular data objects, individual attributes of hierarchical parent data objects of the particular data objects, individual attributes of data objects that are operationally related to the particular data objects, individual attributes of data objects that are deemed sufficiently similar to the particular data objects, significance of data objects and/or data object relationships to environment spaces of a data interaction environment, and/or the like. 
     Through utilizing the dynamic relational awareness concepts described herein, data retrieval and/or data visualization may be rendered more efficient and effective. Various embodiments of the present invention introduce efficient techniques for data retrieval and/or data visualization that utilize relational awareness scores and/or absorption scores. Furthermore, utilizing the dynamic relational awareness concepts described herein that are more scalable and are better capable of integrating external data objects into a relationally aware data model compared to existing data management solutions. Various embodiments of the present invention introduce efficient techniques for efficiently and effectively integrating external data objects into relationally aware data models. Through utilizing at least one of the dynamic relational awareness concepts described herein, the data retrieval concepts discussed herein, the data visualization concepts described, and the external integration concepts described herein, various embodiments of the present invention address various shortcomings of existing data management solutions (e.g., various shortcomings of existing graph-based data management solutions) and make important technical contributions to efficiency and effectiveness of such data management solutions. 
     In some embodiments, relational awareness score enable a data object to maintain self-awareness regarding its context. In some embodiments, updating of data objects may cause a change in values that encode relational properties of the data objects. In this sense, changes in data fields associated with a data object affects the relational context of the noted data object by, for example, changing relational awareness scores associated with the noted data object and other data objects. In some of the noted embodiments, the relational context updating techniques introduced herein enable a data object to exercise self-awareness not only regarding its immediate data context but also with respect to its relational context vis-à-vis other data objects. For example, the updating of the contents of a document data object causes changes in the relational scores encoding the strength of relationships of the document object with other data objects (e.g., with other task data objects). 
     Data Interaction Platform 
       FIG.  4    provides an operational example of a user interface  400  for a data interaction platform that may be generated by the data interaction platform computing entity  106  and that may utilize at least some of the dynamic relational awareness concepts, the data visualization concepts, and the external integration concepts discussed in the present document. The user interface  400  includes user interface elements  401 - 408  as well as user interface element  410 . The user interface elements  401 - 408  each correspond to a hierarchical meta-type designation characterizing root nodes of a hierarchical dependency structure between data objects utilized by the data interaction platform. As further described below, the data interaction platform maintains a hierarchy of data objects, where each child data object hierarchically depends from one or more parent data objects. For example, a data object corresponding to a particular person who is an employee of a particular company and a graduate of a particular university may be a hierarchical dependent of a data object associated with employees of the particular company and a data object associated with graduates of the particular university. The data object associated with the employees of the particular company may in turn be a hierarchical dependent of a data object associated with working adults, while the data object associated with graduates of the particular university may in turn be a hierarchical dependent of a data object associated with university graduates. As further discussed below, an innovative aspect of the present invention relates to utilizing relational awareness signals provided at each level of a hierarchical dependency structure between data objects (e.g., absorption scores of each parent data object for a particular data object) to generate relational awareness scores for particular data objects. 
     In some embodiments, the hierarchical dependency structure relates each data object to at least one of various preconfigured hierarchical meta-type designations, where each hierarchical meta-type designation may relate to foundational properties of the data object that give a universal meaning to its relationship with other data objects. As described above, the preconfigured hierarchical meta-type designations may server as root nodes of a hierarchical dependency structure between data objects utilized by the data interaction platform. Various approaches may be adapted to define such preconfigured hierarchical meta-type designations, where each approach may utilize different foundational properties of data objects to define preconfigured hierarchical meta-type designations and/or maintain different levels of granularity for defining preconfigured hierarchical meta-type designations. In the exemplary approach depicted in the user interface  400  of  FIG.  4   , the preconfigured hierarchical meta-type designations are defined based on primary and potentially secondary characteristics/classifications to include a “living” designation associated with the user interface element  401 , a “places” designation associated with the user interface element  402 , a “things” designation associated with the user interface element  403 , a “time” designation associated with the user interface element  404 , an “actions” designation associated with the user interface element  405 , a “communications” designation associated with the user interface element  406 , a “groupings” designation associated with the user interface element  407 , and a “knowledge” designation associated with the user interface element  408 . However, a person of ordinary skill in the relevant technology will recognize that other formulations of the various preconfigured hierarchical meta-type designations are feasible and may confer particular advantages in various implementations and use cases. 
     Depending on system semantics, the “living” hierarchical meta-type designation may relate to data objects describing people, contacts, animals, plants, and/or the like. An operational example of a user interface depicting visual relationships of particular “living” data objects that may be generated in response to user selection of user interface element  401  is presented in  FIG.  5   . The user interface depicted in  FIG.  5    includes a visualization of various target “living” data objects, such as the “living” data object corresponding to the individual named “Pooya Shoghi,” whose visual representation is depicted using the user interface element  501  in the user interface of  FIG.  5   . As depicted in the user interface of  FIG.  6   , a user selection of the user interface element  501  depicts data objects that are related to the selected “living” data object, where the data objects are in turn organized by the preconfigured hierarchical meta-type designations discussed above in relation to user interface elements  401 - 408 , here associated with the user interface elements  601 - 608  respectively. The user interface depicted in  FIG.  5    further enables adding new data objects that are related to the selected “living” data object by selecting a designation for a new data object via the user interface element  610  and selecting the user interface element  611 , which in turn leads to display of the user interface depicted in  FIG.  7   , which includes a form for entering attributes of the new data object (such as a company name attribute name that can be entered using user interface element  701 , a company industry sector attribute name that can be entered using user interface element  702 , and company address attributes that can be entered using user interface elements  703 ). 
     Depending on system semantics, the “places” hierarchical meta-type designation may relate to data objects describing locations, cities, regions, countries, continents, and/or the like. A “places” data object may have relationships with data objects of other hierarchical meta-type designations. For example, a “places” data object may have a “was born in” relationship with a “living” data object. As another example, a “places” data object may have a “will be performed in” relationship with an “action” data object. As yet another example, a “places” data object may have a “is located in” relationship with a “things” data object. As a further example, a “places” data object may have “occurred in” relationship with a “communications” data object. 
     Depending on system semantics, the “things” hierarchical meta-type designation may relate to data objects describing buildings, products, inanimate objects, equipment, inventory, and/or the like. A “things” data object may have relationships with data objects of other hierarchical meta-type designations. For example, a “things” data object may have a “purchased” relationship with a “living” data object. As another example, a “things” data object may have a “is generated using” relationship with an “action” data object. As yet another example, a “things” data object may have a “is located in” relationship with a “places” data object. As a further example, a “things” data object may have “was a subject of” relationship with a “communications” data object. In some embodiments, the “things” data objects may be selected via files of preconfigured formats which are configured to generate visualizations of the noted “things” data objects, for example a file that describe a visualization of a building or a product using relational awareness modeling data associated with the building or the product.  FIG.  12    provides an operational example of a file selection user interface that may be generated in response to user selection of user interface element  403  in order to enable a user to select a file with a preconfigured format that describe a visualization of a “things” data object. 
     Depending on system semantics, a “time” hierarchical meta-type designation may relate to data objects describing seconds, minutes, hours, dates, date or time ranges, and/or the like. A “time” data object may have relationships with data objects of other hierarchical meta-type designations. For example, a “time” data object may have a “was born on” relationship with a “living” data object. As another example, a “time” data object may have a “will be performed on” relationship with an “action” data object. As yet another example, a “time” data object may have a “was purchased on” relationship with a “things” data object. As a further example, a “time” data object may have “occurred on” relationship with a “communications” data object. In some embodiments, a time data object may be a category of particular events. In some embodiments, a time data object may be used in linear and non-linear manners and may be deemed related to an action data object. A time data object may also be used to describe “active” and “inactive” statuses, such as a person being considered “active” during periods that fall within their life span and inactive after their period of death. 
     Time may also be associated with variations of various other designations, like object properties. By example, the start time of an object may have an associated size, like size a birth or size as a seedling, with said property being modified through course of the Time period. As an example, a tree may have an associated start size as 1 CM, and a state as a seed, with a secondary Time that is “Related” to the first time by a Time Period of X days after adequate light and heat, to transform into a tree of a very small size, with another linearly increased size to a maximum size occurring on yet another related Time period from the start Time, then a continuation to an approximate life span that does not alter (or does) alter the size or other properties until the end of that Time. 
     Depending on system semantics, an “actions” hierarchical meta-type designation may relate to data objects describing events, tasks, projects, performances, concerts, and/or the like. An “actions” data object may have relationships with data objects of other hierarchical meta-type designations. For example, an “actions” data object may have a “was performed by” relationship with a “living” data object. As another example, an “actions” data object may have a “will be performed on” relationship with a “time” data object. As yet another example, an “actions” data object may have a “can be performed by” relationship with a “things” data object. As a further example, an “actions” data object may have “was processed using” relationship with a “communications” data object. In some embodiments, the “actions” hierarchical meta-type designation may have two child data objects, a “tasks” child data object and a “projects” child data object.  FIG.  9    provides an operational example of a user interface that may be generated in response to user interface of user interface element  405  associated with the “actions” hierarchical meta-type designation (a second operational example is depicted in  FIG.  39   ). As depicted in  FIG.  9   , the depicted user interface includes user interface elements  901 - 902 , which correspond to the “tasks” data object and “projects” data object respectively. As further depicted in the user interface of  FIG.  10   , selection of the user interface element  901  associated with the “tasks” data object relates to depicting various target data objects depending from the “tasks” data object, including the “Install ViZZ” data object associated with the user interface element  901 . As further depicted in the user interface of  FIG.  11   , selection of user interface element  901  data objects that are related to the selected “tasks” data object, where the data objects are in turn organized by the preconfigured hierarchical meta-type designations discussed above in relation to user interface elements  401 - 408 . 
     Tasks may refer to a single event, like the kicking of a football, or a series of events, like the playing of a football game, or the construction of a building. Therefore, Tasks may have associated child and parent tasks. As an example, the task of driving a car from work to home may include the task of starting the car, stopping at stop lights, and the like, while also having parent tasks of all actions (Tasks) for which the car was involved, or even all the cars of a city, and the like. 
     Depending on system semantics, the “communications” hierarchical meta-type designation may relate to data objects describing emails, phone calls, text messages, pager messages, meetings, and/or the like. Communications may also include the communicating of visual, audio and other information such as related in photos, videos, x-rays, multi-dimensional interaction such as within 3D models, and the relating of sensory information, such as smells, etc. A “communications” data object may have relationships with data objects of other hierarchical meta-type designations. For example, a “communications” data object may have a “was received by” relationship with a “living” data object. As another example, a “communications” data object may have a “includes guidelines for” relationship with an “action” data object. As yet another example, a “communications” data object may have a “discusses price of” relationship with a “things” data object. As a further example, a “communications” data object may have “occurred in” relationship with a “time” data object. 
     Depending on system semantics, the “groupings” hierarchical meta-type designation may relate to data objects describing companies, teams, organizations, email lists, and/or the like. A “groupings” data object may have relationships with data objects of other hierarchical meta-type designations. For example, a “groupings” data object may have a “is a participant in” relationship with a “living” data object. As another example, a “groupings” data object may have a “is expected to perform” relationship with an “action” data object. As yet another example, a “groupings” data object may have a “is owner of” relationship with a “things” data object. As a further example, a “groupings” data object may have “was formed in” relationship with a “time” data object. In some embodiments, a groupings data object may signify a relationship between the data objects in each group, for example a collection of people may be represented by a group data object of a company, thereby creating a relationship, via that company, of those contacts. 
     Depending on system semantics, the “knowledge” hierarchical meta-type designation may relate to data objects describing files, documents, books, articles, and/or the like. A “knowledge” data object may have relationships with data objects of other hierarchical meta-type designations. For example, a “knowledge” data object may have a “is authored by” relationship with a “living” data object. As another example, a “knowledge” data object may have a “describes how to perform” relationship with an “action” data object. As yet another example, a “knowledge” data object may have a “includes information about” relationship with a “things” data object. As a further example, a “knowledge” data object may have “was authored in” relationship with a “time” data object. In some embodiments, the “knowledge” hierarchical meta-type designation may have two child data objects, a “files” child data object and a “documents” child data object.  FIG.  11    provides an operational example of a user interface that may be generated in response to user interface of user interface element  408  associated with the “knowledge” hierarchical meta-type designation. As depicted in  FIG.  11   , the depicted user interface includes user interface elements  1101 - 1102 , which correspond to the “files” data object and the “documents” data object respectively. A knowledge data object may also have “is related to” information within the same characteristic class of knowledge items to other information on the same subject matter. 
     In some embodiments, a data object may be simultaneously associated with one or more hierarchical meta-type designations and/or may be a collection of one or more data objects of different hierarchical meta-type designations. For example, a person object may be a collection of interactions, living elements, relationships to others, etc. As another example, a photo object may be a collection of the subject matter, when it was taken, where it was taken, who took it, etc. As yet another example, an event data object may be a collection of the people or objects related to that event, the actions that occurred during the event, where the event took place, when the event took place, etc. In some embodiments, data becomes both more enriched, more self-aware, more useable, more storage-wise efficient, and more accessible (easily found by its identity), thus eliminating the need for utilizing nominal designators like file names and improving the ability to find things based on their unique characteristics. In some embodiments, the characteristics of an object can be temporally dynamically, e.g., such characteristics can change through time and experience, thus a data object for a person entity may change from childhood to adulthood. 
     Returning to  FIG.  4   , the user interface  400  further includes the user interface element  410  which enables user selection of one or more environment states for the data interaction platform. An environment state of a data interaction platform may indicate an inferred user purpose and/or an indicated user purpose behind usage of the data interaction platform at a particular time. Environment states may be generated based at least in part on user-supplied information and/or by performing machine learning analysis of the usages of data at different time intervals and/or in different locations. For example, the data interaction platform computing entity  106  may infer based at least in part on user interaction data that the user uses separate groups of data objects at different time intervals and thus conclude that the separate groups of data objects belong to different environments. Moreover, selection of one or more environment states for a particular usage session may be performed based at least in part on explicit user selection and/or based at least in part on detecting that the user is at a time-of-day and/or at a location associated with a particular environment state. For example, the data interaction platform computing entity  106  may infer a “working” environment state for a particular usage session by a user during working hours and/or while the user is located at a geographic location of the user&#39;s office. As further discussed below, an innovative aspect of the present invention relates to utilizing relational awareness signals provided by the environment states for usage of a data interaction platform to generate relational awareness scores for particular data objects. 
       FIG.  13    provides an operational example of a user interface that enables user selection of environment states. As depicted in the user interface of  FIG.  13   , the defined environment states are divided into four meta-type designations: a “live” environment  1301  (e.g., related to private or personal environment states) that includes the environment state “Pooya&#39;s Private Workspace”  1311 , a “work” environment  1302  (e.g., related to professional environment states), a “play” environment  1303  (e.g., related to entertainment-related or leisure-related environment states) that includes the environment state “Pooya&#39;s Fun”  1313 , and a “global” environment  1304  (e.g., related to general or public environment states) that includes the environment state “Global Public”  1314 . A user can select an environment state by selecting one or more of the appropriate environments. Selection or deselection of environment states can affect visualizations of retrieved data item. For example, as depicted in the user interface of  FIG.  14    relative to the user interface of  FIG.  5   , after selection of the environment state “Global Public”  1314 , selection of the user interface element  401  leads to generation and display of a more crowded visualization with a greater number of depicted data objects compared to prior to selection of the environment state “Global Public”  1314 . In some embodiments, environments can be utilized to define security parameters for accessing particular data objects and/or particular inter-object relationships. Users may create or select more than one environment at a time. By example, a user may have more than one job, and thus more than one work environment. This can include past jobs with differing states (Active, Inactive, Temporary, etc), or multiple simultaneous jobs. Users may also choose to display more than one simultaneous state, such as work and home data. Data visualization can also be impacted by user preference, through discernment using AI or other logic to determine most relevant data, by user geographic location, time of day, etc, to alter display of information and visual relevance of information. By example, though a user may have both work and home environments open, because they are at work and are engaged in work activities, the work-related information may be given visual preference over the home information. Further, because the user is accessing specific data, such as the projects they are working on, the information display for those projects may also be given priority over other project information, as may information relative to what they are currently doing, the people within the department they work in or who are also working on the same projects, and the like. In some embodiments, the data objects accessible by an end-user may be determined by one or more security policies associated with the data object. 
     The term “security environment” may refer to data that indicate one or more runtime parameter value ranges for one or more runtime parameters associated with a data access session by a user profile which may affect the ability of the user profile to access particular data objects. For example, a particular security environment may be defined by at least one of a location-based runtime parameter value indicating a particular geographic area (e.g., a particular geographic area corresponding to a particular office of a particular company), a temporal runtime parameter value indicating a particular range of time within a week (e.g., every weekday between 9 AM and 5 PM), a network connection-based runtime parameter indicating a particular network connection used to connect to the data interaction platform computing entity (e.g., a particular virtual private network (VPN) associated with a company), an environment-selection runtime parameter indicating an environment state selected by a user of the data interaction platform computing entity  106  (e.g., an environment state associated with work or leisure), a jurisdictional runtime parameter indicating a legal and/or regulatory jurisdiction of a user profile associated with the data access request, and/or the like. 
     The example data interaction platform depicted and described herein using  FIGS.  4 - 14    can be utilized to process data retrieval queries and generate responsive query outputs, where a data retrieval query is any request to retrieve one or more data objects that correspond to particular data retrieval query criteria, e.g., one or more filtering criteria, one or more search criteria, and/or the like. For example,  FIG.  15    provides an operational example of a user interface  1500  for processing data retrieval queries using the noted data interaction platform (a second operational example is presented in  FIG.  38   ). As depicted in  FIG.  15   , the user interface  1500  includes user interface elements  1501  for specifying data retrieval query criteria, user interface elements  1502  for specifying visualization parameters defining a desired visualization of data, and user interface elements  1503  depicting search results. As further depicted in the user interface  1600  of  FIG.  16   , query outputs can be saved as sessions  1601 - 1602  and visualization results  1603  may include relationships between retrieved data objects. Processing data retrieval queries using a proposed data interaction platform will be described in greater detail below. 
     To provide the data modeling, data visualization, external integration, and query processing functionalities discussed herein, a data interaction platform utilizing dynamic relational awareness needs to utilize a robust logical data model that enables both relational awareness modeling aspects as well as dynamic user interaction aspects of the noted functionalities. An example of such a logical data model  1700  for a data interaction system is provided in  FIG.  17   . As depicted in  FIG.  17   , a user node  1701  is associated with a user profile object  1702 , which uniquely identifies the user node  1701  within the data interaction platform, encodes attributes and relationships of the user node  1701  in relation to the data interaction platform, and enables the user node  1701  to interact with other user nodes  1701  within the data interaction platform. The user profile object  1702  manages various data objects, such as a collaboration space  1703  of user profile objects whose access to the data interaction platform is controlled by the user node  1701 , a shared space  1704  of data objects that were shared by the user node  1701  with other user profile objects within the data interaction platform and which may include primary data objects such as primary data object  1741  or other shared spaces such as shared space  1742 , a team object  1705  that enables the user node  1701  to manage access to its data on a group level, environment objects  1706  each identifying an environment state associated with the user node  1701 , and environment classes  1707  each identifying a meta-type designation of environment states associated with the user node  1701 . 
     As further depicted in the logical data model  1700  of  FIG.  17   , user profile object  1702  owns a space object  1708  which may act as container of multiple data objects and which may include one or more space objects such as space object  1781 , one or more primary data objects such as primary data object  1782 , and one or more secondary data objects such as secondary data object  1783 . Moreover, user profile object  1702  owns a primary data object  1709  which may act as a primary data node and which may include one or more space objects such as space object  1791 , one or more primary data objects such as primary data object  1792 , and one or more secondary data objects such as secondary data object  1794 . In some embodiments, a secondary data object is a data object that is defined by association with another data object such that it will be deleted upon deletion of the other data object. An example of a secondary data object is a phone number data object for an individual person data object. In some embodiments, at least some of the data objects depicted in the logical data model  1700  of  FIG.  17    are “default” data objects, meaning that they are automatically created upon creation of a user profile object. In some embodiments, the default data objects include one or more of the team object  1705 , the collaborator space  1703 , and the shared space  1704 . 
     Data Modeling and Data Retrieval 
       FIG.  18    is a flowchart diagram of an example process  1800  for generating relational awareness models for a data interaction platform. Via the various steps/operations of the process  1800 , the relational awareness modeling engine  111  of the data interaction platform computing entity  106  can generate relational awareness scores for data object relationships with respect to related data objects in an efficient and effective manner. 
     The process  1800  begins at step/operation  1801  when the relational awareness modeling engine  111  generates an absorption score for each data object associated with a data interaction platform. In some embodiments, the absorption score for a data object indicates an estimated relational awareness tendency of the data object. Different data objects may exhibit different expected capacities of forming relationships with other data objects. For example, a “living” data object may typically have a stronger tendency to be aware of its relationships relative to a “communications” data object. The noted example illustrates both the diverse absorption scores of various data objects as well as the role of hierarchical relationships in forming the diverse absorption scores of various data objects. As described below, hierarchical relationships are one of many inferential signals that the relational awareness modeling engine  111  can use to infer absorption scores for various data objects. 
     In some embodiments, step/operation  1801  can be performed in accordance with the process depicted in  FIG.  19   , which is a flowchart diagram of an example process for generating an absorption score for a particular data object. The process depicted in  FIG.  19    begins at step/operation  1901  when the relational awareness modeling engine  111  generates an individual absorption score for the particular data object. In some embodiments, the individual absorption score of the particular data object indicates an estimated relational awareness tendency of the particular data object given one or more individual attributes of the particular data object. For example, based at least in part on an example model for inferring individual absorption scores, a data object associated with a particular individual person having a high educational degree may be deemed to have a high absorption score. As another example, based at least in part on another example model for generating individual absorption scores, a data object a data object associated with a particular individual person having a particular physical profile (e.g., age, height, weight, and/or the like) may be deemed to have a high absorption score. 
     In some embodiments, step/operation  1901  can be performed in accordance with the process depicted in  FIG.  20   , which is a flowchart diagram of an example process for generating an individual absorption score for a particular data object. The process depicted in  FIG.  20    begins at step/operation  2001  when the relational awareness modeling engine  111  obtains one or more individual attributes for the particular data object. Examples of individual attributes for the particular data object include dynamic attributes generated in accordance with the data schema code segment  2100  of  FIG.  21   , dynamic properties generated in accordance with the data schema code segment  2200  of  FIG.  22   , and the static properties generated in accordance with the data schema code segment  2300  of  FIG.  23   . 
     At step/operation  2002 , the relational awareness modeling engine  111  generates one or more absorption metrics based at least in part on the one or more individual attributes obtained in step/operation  2001 . In some embodiments, an absorption metric of a particular data object is a property of the particular data object that is determined based at least in part on the individual attributes for the particular object and that can be used to estimate the individual absorption score of the particular data object. In some embodiments, generating the one or more absorption metrics based at least in part on the one or more individual attributes includes selecting a subset of the individual attributes based at least in part on an input space of an individualized absorption space configured to generate individual absorption scores for data objects based at least in part on absorption metrics for the data objects. In some embodiments, generating the one or more absorption metrics based at least in part on the one or more individual attributes includes performing a dimensionality reduction and/or feature embedding algorithm on the one or more individual attributes. 
     In some embodiments, data objects may be configured to explore and identify relationship properties between themselves and other data objects. For example, a document object may be configured to explore to identify document objects of similar subject, and then create relationships between itself and the identified documents and generate a relational awareness score for each created relationship based on both similarity and relevance of the subject matters of the two document objects. In some embodiments, the self-exploration concepts discussed herein enable a data model to be organically self-building, which reduces and/or eliminates the need for expensive data modeling operations. 
     At step/operation  2003 , the relational awareness modeling engine  111  maps the one or more absorption metrics generated in step/operation  2002  to an individual absorption space. An individual absorption space may be a space configured to relate absorption metrics for various data objects that include a first set of data objects with known individual absorption scores and a second set of data objects with unknown individual absorption scores. An operational example of an individual absorption space  2400  is depicted in  FIG.  24   . As depicted in  FIG.  24   , the individual absorption space  2400  includes input dimensions  2401 - 2403  associated with absorption metrics A-C respectively. Each point  2411 - 2416  depicts a corresponding data object. As further depicted in the individual absorption space  2400  of  FIG.  24   , points having solid boundaries (e.g., points  2411  and  2414 ) have known individual absorption scores, while points having dashed boundaries (e.g., points  2412 - 2413  and  2415 - 2416 ) have unknown individual absorption scores. 
     At step/operation  2004 , the relational awareness modeling engine  111  generates the individual absorption score based at least in part on the individual absorption space. In some embodiments, to generate the individual absorption score for a particular data object, the relational awareness modeling engine  111  generates, based at least in part on the individual absorption space, one or more clusters of data objects including a cluster that includes the point corresponding to absorption metrics for the particular data object as mapped to the individual absorption space as well as points corresponding to one or more data objects with known individual absorption spaces. In some embodiments, to generate the individual absorption score for a particular data object, the relational awareness modeling engine  111  finds the closest K data objects with known individual absorption spaces whose corresponding points in the individual absorption space is closest to the point corresponding to the absorption metrics for the particular data object and generates the individual absorption score for the particular data object based at least in part on the known individual absorption spaces for the closest K data objects, where K may be a preconfigured hyper-parameter of the relational awareness modeling engine  111  and may have a value of one or more. 
     An operational example of generating individual absorption scores based at least in part on the individual absorption space is depicted in the individual absorption space  2400  of  FIG.  24   . As depicted in  FIG.  24   , the individual absorption space  2400  includes two object clusters: object cluster  2421  and object cluster  2422 . In accordance with the clustering arrangement depicted in  FIG.  24   , the relational awareness modeling engine  111  may utilize the known individual absorption score for the data object corresponding to the point  2411  to generate individual absorption scores of the data objects corresponding to the points  2412 - 2413 . Moreover, further in accordance with the clustering arrangement depicted in  FIG.  24   , the relational awareness modeling engine  111  may utilize the known individual absorption score for the data object corresponding to the point  2414  to generate individual absorption scores of the data objects corresponding to the points  2415 - 2416 . 
     Returning to  FIG.  19   , at step/operation  1902 , the relational awareness modeling engine  111  generates a hierarchical absorption score for the particular data object. For example, the hierarchical absorption score for a particular data object that has a hierarchical parents P 1 , P 2 , and P 3  may be determined based at least in part on individual absorption scores of P 1 , P 2 , and P 3 . In some embodiments, the hierarchical absorption score for the data object is determined based at least in part on each individual absorption score for a parent data object that is a hierarchical parent of the data object. In some embodiments, the one or more parent data objects for a particular data object include a hierarchical meta-type of the particular data object, where the hierarchical meta-type of the particular data object indicates whether the particular data object is comprising one or more related hierarchical meta-type designations of a plurality of predefined hierarchical meta-type designations. In some embodiments, the plurality of predefined hierarchical meta-type designations include: a first predefined hierarchical meta-type designation associated with living real-world entities, a second predefined hierarchical meta-type designation associated with non-living-object real-world entities, a third predefined hierarchical meta-type designation associated with location-defining real-world entities, a fourth predefined hierarchical meta-type designation associated with time-defining real-world entities, a fifth predefined hierarchical meta-type designation associated with communication-defining entities, a sixth predefined hierarchical meta-type designation associated with group-defining entities, and a seventh predefined hierarchical meta-type designation associated with knowledge-defining entities. 
     At step/operation  1903 , the relational awareness modeling engine  111  generates an operational absorption score for the particular data object. In some embodiments, the operational absorption score for the data object is determined based at least in part on each individual absorption score for a related data object that is operationally related to the particular data object. In some embodiments, a related data object is deemed related to a particular data object if there is a non-hierarchical relationship between the two data objects. In some embodiments, the one or more related data objects for a particular data object of include one or more user-defining objects associated with the particular data object and one or more access-defining data objects associated with the particular data object. In some embodiments, the one or more user-defining objects associated with the particular data object include one or more primary user-defining objects associated with the particular data object and one or more collaborator user-defining objects associated with the particular data object. In some embodiments, the one or more access-defining data objects associated with the particular data object include one or more sharing space data objects associated with the particular data object (e.g., a public sharing space data object, a collaborator space object, a shared space object, and/or the like). 
     At step/operation  1904 , the relational awareness modeling engine  111  generates an attribute-based absorption score for the particular data object. In some embodiments, the attribute-based absorption score for the particular data object is performed based at least in part on each individual absorption score for a similar data object whose respective individual attributes are determined to be sufficiently similar to the one or more object attributes of the particular data object. In some embodiments, the relational awareness modeling engine  111  generates a distance measure between each pair of data objects and determines particular pairs of data objects whose distance measure exceeds a threshold distance measure. In some of those embodiments, the relational awareness modeling engine  111  generates an attribute-based absorption score for a particular data object based at least in part on any data object that is member of a particular pair of data objects that also includes the particular data object. 
     At operation  1905 , the relational awareness modeling engine  111  generates the absorption score for the particular data object based at least in part on the individual absorption score for the particular data object, the hierarchical absorption score for the particular data object, the operational absorption score for the particular data object, and the attribute absorption score for the particular data object. In some embodiments, to generate the absorption score for the particular data object, the relational awareness modeling engine  111  applies a parameter to each of the individual absorption score for the particular data object, the hierarchical absorption score for the particular data object, the operational absorption score for the particular data object, and the attribute absorption score for the particular data object, where each parameter may be determined using a preconfigured absorption score generation model such as a generalized linear model and/or using a supervised machine learning algorithm for determining absorption scores. 
     Returning to  FIG.  18   , at step/operation  1802 , the relational awareness modeling engine  111  generates an environment-based absorption score for each data object relationship. In some embodiments, the environment-based absorption score of a particular data object relationship indicates an estimated relational significance of the particular data object relationship given an environment state of the data interaction platform. In some embodiments, the environment state of the data interaction platform is selected from a plurality of candidate environment states of the data interaction platform. In some of those embodiments, the plurality of candidate environment states of the data interaction platform indicates at least one of the following: one or more private environment states, one or more professional environment states, one or more leisure environment state, and one or more public environment states. 
     At step/operation  1803 , the relational awareness modeling engine  111  generates relational awareness scores based at least in part on the absorption scores for data objects determined in step/operation  1801  and environment-based absorption scores for data object relationships determined in step/operation  1803 . In some embodiments, for each data object relationship of the plurality of data object relationships that is associated with a plurality of related data objects, relational awareness modeling engine  111  generates a relational awareness score with respect to each of the plurality of related data objects associated with the data object relationship. In some of those embodiments, the relational awareness score for the data object relationship with respect to a particular related data object of the plurality of related data objects is determined based at least in part on the absorption score of the particular related data object and the environment-based absorption score for the data object relationship. In some embodiments, to generate relational awareness scores, the relational awareness modeling engine  111  applies a parameter to each of the absorption scores for the data objects and environment-based absorption scores for the data object relationships, where each parameter may be determined using a preconfigured relational score generation model such as a generalized linear model and/or using a supervised machine learning algorithm for determining relational awareness scores. 
     In some embodiments, the query processing engine  112  of the data interaction platform computing entity  106  uses the relational awareness scores generated by the relational awareness modeling engine  111  at step/operation  1803  to process one or more data retrieval queries. In some of those embodiments, to process a data retrieval query, the query processing engine  112  identifies one or more filtering parameters associated with the data retrieval query, generates a query relevance score for each data object relationship based at least in part on one or more filtering parameters and each relational awareness score associated with the data object relationship, and generates a query output based at least in part on each query relevance score for a data object relationship. 
     In some embodiments, a relational score may have multiple score components, such as a negative score component and a positive score component. In some of the embodiments where a relational score has a positive component a negative component, the score components are viewed as independent from one another and not summed up in a cumulative manner. For example, a relationship may be associated with a positive score component of ten and a negative score component of ten, but the two values are not summed up to generate a value of zero. In some embodiments, relational scores may be displayed graphically using textual representations and/or using graphical representations, for example by utilizing one or more of the data visualization techniques described herein (including one or more multi-dimensional data visualization techniques described herein). 
     In some embodiments, when relational awareness scores change over time, past scores may be maintained and be accessible to generate time-series data that reflect changes in relational scores over time. For example, a relational awareness score between two people may start off at a 3, increase over time to an 8, and then decrease to 1. The relational awareness modeling engine  111  may be configured to analyze such fluctuations to generate one or more interaction recommendations between the noted two people. Moreover, various events may be associated with various relational impact scores. For example, an event may have a negative but temporary impact score of −9. 
     Data Visualization 
       FIG.  25    is a flowchart diagram of an example process  2500  for generating a visual representation of a group of retrieved data objects which have been retrieved in response to a data retrieval query. Using the various steps/operations of process  2500 , the data visualization engine  113  of the data interaction platform computing entity  106  can perform visualization of data objects using relational awareness metrics. 
     The process  2500  begins at step/operation  2501  when the data visualization engine  113  generates one or more absorption parameters for the retrieved data object. In some embodiments, an absorption parameter for the retrieved data object is any parameter used to determine an absorption parameter for the retrieved data object. Examples of absorption parameters include one or more of individual absorption parameters, hierarchical absorption parameters, operational absorption parameters, attribute-based absorption parameters, environment-based absorption parameters, and/or the like. In some embodiments, the one or more absorption parameters for a particular retrieved data object may include an individual absorption score for the particular retrieved data object, and the individual absorption score of the particular retrieved data object indicates an estimated relational awareness capacity of the particular retrieved data object given one or more object attributes of the particular retrieved data object. In some embodiments, the one or more absorption parameters for a particular retrieved data object include a hierarchical absorption score for the particular retrieved data object, and the hierarchical absorption score of the particular retrieved data object is determined based at least in part on each individual absorption score for a parent data object that is a hierarchical parent of the particular retrieved data object. In some embodiments, the one or more absorption parameters for a particular retrieved data object include an operational absorption score for the particular retrieved data object, and the operational absorption score of the particular retrieved data object is determined based at least in part on each individual absorption score for a related data object that is operationally related to the particular retrieved data object. In some embodiments, the one or more absorption parameters for a particular retrieved data object include an environment-based absorption score for the particular retrieved data object, and the environment-based absorption score of the particular retrieved data object indicates an estimated relational significance of the particular retrieved data object to an environment state of a data interaction platform executing the data retrieval query. 
     At step/operation  2502 , the data visualization engine  113  generates one or more visualization configuration parameters for each retrieved data object based at least in part on the one or more absorption parameters for the retrieved data object generated in step/operation  2501 . In some embodiments, a visualization configuration parameter for a particular retrieved data object indicates at least one visual feature of an icon associated with the particular retrieved data object. In some embodiments, the one or more visualization configuration parameters for a particular retrieved data object include one or more visualization location coordinates for the particular retrieved data object, one or more shape-defining visualization configuration parameters for the particular retrieved data object, one or more rotation-speed-defining visualization configuration parameters for the particular retrieved data object, one or more color-defining visualization configuration parameters for the particular retrieved data object, one or more lighting/highlight visualization configurations configuration parameters, and one or more pulse-intensity-defining visualization configuration parameters for the particular retrieved data object. In some embodiments, to generate the visualization configuration parameters for the retrieved data object, the data visualization engine  113  maps the one or more absorption parameters for the retrieved data object of the plurality of retrieved data objects to a visualization space comprising one or more input dimensions associated with the one or more absorption parameters and one or more output dimensions associated with one or more visualization configuration parameters and generates the visualization configuration parameters based at least in part on the visualization space. In some embodiments, at least some of the visualization configuration parameters are determined based at least in part on user input, e.g., user input entered using a visualization tools selection user interface such as the example visualization tools selection user interface  3400  of  FIG.  34   . 
     In some embodiments, relational awareness modeling engine  111  tracks variations in relational awareness scores. In some embodiments, relational awareness modeling engine  111  tracks relative volatility of relational awareness scores for a particular data object over time. In some embodiments, the relational awareness modeling engine  111  uses the variations in relational awareness scores and/or relative volatility of relational awareness scores for a particular data object over time to generate predictive conclusions about the behavior of the data object. For example, substantial fluctuations in relational awareness scores of a person data object may indicate psychological instability. As another example, substantial fluctuations in relational awareness scores of an organization data object may indicate poor management. 
     In some embodiments, step/operation  2502  may be performed in accordance with the process depicted in  FIG.  26   , which is a flowchart diagram of an example process for generating visualization configuration parameters for a particular retrieved data object. The process depicted in  FIG.  26    begins at step/operation  2601  when the data visualization engine  113  generates one or more visualization location coordinates for the particular retrieved data object. In some embodiments, each of the one or more visualization location coordinates for the particular retrieved data object correspond to a dimension of an n-dimensional visualization space associated with a data interaction platform. In some embodiments, the visualization location coordinates include at least one of the following: a first visualization location coordinate determined based at least in part on each particular relational awareness score for any retrieved data object relationship between the particular retrieved particular data object and other retrieved data objects, a second visualization location coordinate determined based at least in part on each environment-based absorption score for any retrieved data object relationship between the particular retrieved data object and the other retrieved data objects; and a third visualization location coordinate determined based at least in part on a hierarchical meta-type of the particular retrieved data object, where the hierarchical meta-type of the particular data object may indicate whether the particular data object is comprising one or more related hierarchical meta-type designations of a plurality of predefined hierarchical meta-type designations. 
     At step/operation  2602 , the data visualization engine  113  generates one or more shape-defining visualization configuration parameters for the particular retrieved data object. A shape-defining visualization configuration parameter for the particular retrieved data object may define an aspect of a shape of the icon associated with the particular retrieved data object. For example, a particular shape-defining visualization configuration parameter may define whether the icon for a corresponding retrieved data object is a rectangle, a circle, a cylinder, and/or the like. As another example, a particular shape-defining visualization configuration parameter may define size of the icon for a corresponding retrieved data object. As yet another example, a particular shape-defining visualization configuration parameter may define size of an aura region associated with the icon for a corresponding retrieved data object. In some embodiments, at least one shape-defining visualization configuration parameter for a particular retrieved data object may be determined based at least in part on user input, e.g., user input defining that an aspect of shape of an icon associated with the particular retrieved data object should indicate a particular attribute of the particular retrieved data object. For example, as depicted in the example visualization configuration user interface  2700  of  FIG.  27   , the current state of the user interface element  2701  enables a user to depict an indication of a middle name of a “living” data object based at least in part on an aura of the icon of the “living” data object, e.g., such that an icon for a “living” data object having a middle name will have a larger aura and/or such that an icon for a “living” data object having a middle name whose first letter has alphabetic precedence over other “living” data objects has a larger aura. 
     At step/operation  2603 , the data visualization engine  113  generates one or more color-defining visualization configuration parameters for the particular retrieved data object. A color-defining visualization configuration parameter for the particular retrieved data object may define an aspect of a color of the icon associated with the particular retrieved data object. For example, a particular color-defining visualization configuration parameter may define whether the icon for a corresponding retrieved data object is red, blue, yellow, and/or the like. As another example, a particular color-defining visualization configuration parameter may define a color of a spectral region of an icon associated with the corresponding retrieved data object. In some embodiments, at least one color-defining visualization configuration parameter for a particular retrieved data object may be determined based at least in part on user input, e.g., user input defining that an aspect of color of an icon associated with the particular retrieved data object should indicate a particular attribute of the particular retrieved data object. For example, as depicted in the example visualization configuration user interface  2700  of  FIG.  7   , the current state of the user interface element  2702  enables a user to depict an indication of an employer name of a “living” data object based at least in part on a spectral color of the icon of the “living” data object, e.g., such that an icon for a “living” data object having an employer name will have a brighter spectral color and/or such that an icon for a “living” data object having an employer name whose first letter has alphabetic precedence over other “living” data objects has a brighter spectral color. 
     At step/operation  2604 , the data visualization engine  113  generates one or more rotation-speed-defining visualization configuration parameters for the particular retrieved data object. A rotation-speed-defining visualization configuration parameter for the particular retrieved data object may define an aspect of a rotation speed of the icon associated with the particular retrieved data object. For example, a particular rotation-speed-defining visualization configuration parameter may define whether the icon for a corresponding retrieved data object rotates faster or slow. As another example, a particular rotation-speed-defining visualization configuration parameter may define whether an icon associated with the corresponding retrieved data object rotates at all. In some embodiments, at least one rotation-speed-defining visualization configuration parameter for a particular retrieved data object may be determined based at least in part on user input, e.g., user input defining that an aspect of rotation speed of an icon associated with the particular retrieved data object should indicate a particular attribute of the particular retrieved data object. For example, as depicted in the example visualization configuration user interface  2700  of  FIG.  7   , the current state of the user interface element  2703  enables a user to depict an indication of a first name of a “living” data object based at least in part on a rotation speed of the icon of the “living” data object, e.g., such that an icon for a “living” data object having a first name whose first letter has alphabetic precedence over other “living” data objects has a slower rotation speed. 
     At step/operation  2605 , the data visualization engine  113  generates one or more lighting/highlight visualization configuration parameters for the particular retrieved data object. A lighting/visualization visualization configuration parameter for the particular retrieved data object may define an aspect of lighting and/or highlight of the icon associated with the particular retrieved data object. For example, a particular lighting/highlight visualization configuration parameter may define whether the icon for a corresponding retrieved data object is light or dark. As another example, a particular lighting/highlight visualization configuration parameter may define a discrete and/or continuous value for an aspect of lighting and/or highlight of the icon associated with the particular retrieved data object based on one or more properties of the retrieved data objects, e.g., one or more relational awareness scores for relationships associated with the retrieved data object. 
     At step/operation  2605 , the data visualization engine  113  generates one or more pulse-intensity-defining visualization configuration parameters for the particular retrieved data object. A pulse-intensity-defining visualization configuration parameter for the particular retrieved data object may define an aspect of a pulse intensity of the icon associated with the particular retrieved data object. For example, a particular pulse-intensity-defining visualization configuration parameter may define whether the icon for a corresponding retrieved data object pulses (e.g., contracts and expands). As another example, a particular pulse-intensity-defining visualization configuration parameter may define whether an icon associated with the corresponding retrieved data object pulses fast or slow. As yet another example, a particular pulse-intensity-defining visualization configuration parameter may define whether an icon associated with the corresponding retrieved data object has a smaller or larger range of contraction and expansion. In some embodiments, at least one pulse-intensity-defining visualization configuration parameter for a particular retrieved data object may be determined based at least in part on user input, e.g., user input defining that an aspect of pulse intensity of an icon associated with the particular retrieved data object should indicate a particular attribute of the particular retrieved data object. For example, the current state of a user interface element may enable a user to depict an indication of a first name of a “living” data object based at least in part on a pulse intensity of the icon of the “living” data object, e.g., such that an icon for a “living” data object having a first name whose first letter has alphabetic precedence over other “living” data objects pulses slower. 
     Returning to  FIG.  25   , at step/operation  2502 , the data visualization engine  113  generates one or more layout configuration parameters for the group of retrieved data objects. In some embodiments, a layout configuration parameter defines an aspect of layout of icons associated with the group of retrieved data objects. In some of the embodiments that utilize layout configuration parameters to define a layout of the icons associated with the group of retrieved data objects, one or more visualization location coordinates include one or more layout-based configuration parameters that define a location of the particular retrieved data object with respect to the defined layout. In some embodiments, layout configuration parameters are generated based at least in part on attributes of data object relationships between the group of retrieved data objects. In some embodiments, layout configuration parameters are generated based at least in part on user input, e.g., user input entered using the example display style selection user interface element  2800  of  FIG.  28   . Examples of layouts defined by layout configuration parameters include cloud layouts (e.g., the example cloud layout depicted using the user interface  2900  of  FIG.  29   ), spiral layouts (e.g., the example spiral layout depicted using the user interface  3000  of  FIG.  30   ), grid layouts (e.g., the example grid layout depicted using the user interface  3100  of  FIG.  31   ), line layouts (the example line layout depicted using the user interface  3200  of  FIG.  32   ), and cube layouts (the example cube layout depicted using the user interface  3300  of  FIG.  33   ). Other examples of layouts defined by layout configuration parameters include hierarchical layouts, such as family trees, organizational charts, workflows, etc. 
     In some embodiments, the data visualization engine  113  generates the visual representation based at least in part on each one or more visualization configuration parameters for a retrieved data object of the group of retrieve data objects. An operational example of an example data visualization user interface  3500  is presented in  FIG.  35   . In some embodiments, the data visualization engine  113  generates the visual representation based at least in part on one or more visualization configuration parameters for each retrieved data object relationship between the group of retrieved data objects. In some embodiments, to generate visualization configuration parameters for a retrieved data object relationship, the data visualization engine  113  uses each relational awareness score associated with the retrieved data object relationship with respect to at least one retrieved data object of the group of retrieved data objects. In some embodiments, to generate visualization configuration parameters for a retrieved data object relationship, the data visualization engine  113  uses each environment-based absorption score associated with the retrieved data object relationship with respect to an environment state of the data interaction platform being utilized. In some embodiments, visualization configuration parameters for a retrieved data object relationship may indicate one or more of tabular data display, multi-line display of text (e.g., a rolodex-style display), radial display (e.g., a Ferris-wheel-style display), flash-based display of object-related information, text visualization properties such as font changes, etc. 
     External Object Integration 
       FIG.  36    depicts a flowchart diagram of an example process  3600  for integrating an external data object into a data model with dynamic relational awareness. Via the various steps/operations of process  3600 , the external integration engine  114  of the data interaction platform computing entity  106  can enable external integration of unintegrated data objects into a data interaction platform comprising a group of integrated data object relationships between a group of integrated data objects. 
     The process  3600  begins at step/operation  3601  when the external integration engine  114  generates object integration parameters for the external data object. In some embodiments, an object integration parameter for the external data object is an attribute of the external data object that can be used to infer data object relationship between the external data object and at least some of the group of integrated data object relationships. In some embodiments, the one or more object integration parameters for the external data object include one or more entity-type-defining parameters for the external data object, such as an entity-type-defining parameter indicating that the external data object relates to a “contacts” data object and/or an entity-type-defining parameter indicating that the external data object relates to a “projects” data object. In some embodiments, the one or more object integration parameters for the external data object include one or more topic-defining parameters for the external data object, such as a topic-defining parameter indicating that the external data object relates to business and/or a topic-defining parameter indicating that the external data object relates to sports. In some embodiments, the one or more object integration parameters are generated using an online learning model configured to process user interaction data with the external data object outside of the data interaction platform to generate the one or more object integration parameters. In some embodiments, the online learning model is a follow-the-regularized-leader model. 
     In some embodiments, the one or more object integration parameters for the external data object include an individual absorption score for the external data object, where the individual absorption score of the external data object may indicate an estimated relational awareness capacity of the external data object given one or more object attributes of the external data object. In some embodiments, the one or more object integration parameters for the external data object include a hierarchical absorption score for the external data object, where the hierarchical absorption score of the external data object may be determined based at least in part on each individual absorption score for a parent data object that is a hierarchical parent of the external data object. In some embodiments, the one or more object integration parameters for the external data object include an operational absorption score for the external data object, where the operational absorption score of the external data object may be determined based at least in part on each individual absorption score for a related data object that is operationally related to the external data object. In some embodiments, the one or more object integration parameters for the external data object include an environment-based absorption score for the external data object, where the environment-based absorption score of the external data object may indicate an estimated relational significance of the external data object to an environment state of the data interaction platform. In some embodiments, the one or more object integration parameters for the external data object include an attribute-based absorption score for the external data object, where the attribute-based absorption score of the external data object may be determined based at least in part on individual absorption scores of data objects whose individual attributes are deemed sufficiently similar to the individual attributes of the external data object, e.g., whose individual attributes have a similarity score with respect to the external data object that exceeds a threshold similarity score. 
     At step/operation  3602 , the external integration engine  114  generates one or more unintegrated data object relationships based at least in part on the one or more object integration parameters. In some embodiments, an unintegrated data object relationship is a relationship between the external data object and at least one of the group of integrated data objects. In some embodiments, each unintegrated data object relationship is associated with one or more related data objects, where the one or more related data objects associated with an unintegrated data object relationship may include the external data object and at least one of the group of integrated data objects. In some embodiments, generating the one or more unintegrated data object relationships includes mapping the one or more object integration parameters to a relationship extrapolation space of the group of integrated data objects, wherein the relationship extrapolation space is comprising one or more input dimensions associated with the one or more object integration parameters and one or more output dimensions associated with one or more candidate data object relationship types; and determining the one or more unintegrated data object relationships based at least in part on the relationship extrapolation space. In some embodiments, generating the one or more relational absorption parameters for an unintegrated data object relationship of the one or more unintegrated data object relationships includes generating the one or more relational absorption parameters based at least in part on the one or more object integration parameters generated in step/operation  3601 . 
     In some embodiments, determining the one or more unintegrated data object relationships based at least in part on the relationship extrapolation space includes utilizing an unsupervised machine learning model (e.g., a clustering machine learning, a K-nearest-neighbor machine learning model, and/or the like) defined by the input space and output space of the relationship extrapolation space. In some embodiments, determining the one or more unintegrated data object relationships based at least in part on the relationship extrapolation space includes utilizing a supervised machine learning model (e.g., a neural network machine learning model) defined by the input space and output space of the relationship extrapolation space. In some embodiments, determining the one or more unintegrated data object relationships based at least in part on the relationship extrapolation space includes utilizing an online machine learning model (e.g., a follow-the-regularized-leader machine learning model) defined by the input space and output space of the relationship extrapolation space. 
     In some embodiments, step/operation  3602  for a particular external data object that is a digital document may be performed in accordance with the process depicted in  FIG.  37   . The process depicted in  FIG.  37    begins at step/operation  3701  when the external integration engine  114  receives the digital document. The digital document may be an email communication, a word file, etc. The digital document may be in a regular text format, rich text format, image format, etc. The digital document may be uploaded to the data interaction platform computing entity  106 , identified (e.g., downloaded) by the external integration engine  114  based on monitoring end-user activity, and/or generated by the external integration engine  114  based on monitoring end-user activity. 
     At step/operation  3702 , the external integration engine  114  performs text-preprocessing on the digital document to generate relevant features from the digital document. The text pre-processing performed by the external integration engine  114  may include at least one of tokenization, stop-word removal, term-frequency-inverse-domain-frequency (TF-IDF) modeling, word embedding modeling. In some embodiments, TF-IDF modeling may be performed based on a corpus of data that include textual data associated with other data objects modeled by the data interaction platform computing entity  106 . In some embodiments, TF-IDF modeling may be performed based on a vocabulary of modeled terms defined by configuration parameters of the data interaction platform computing entity  106 . In some embodiments, embedding features may be determined based on detected feature patterns of other data objects modeled by the data interaction platform computing entity  106  and/or based on configuration parameters of the data interaction platform computing entity  106 . 
     At step/operation  3703 , the external integration engine  114  performs feature modeling on the features generated at step/operation  3702 . Feature modeling may involve utilizing one or more machine learning models, such as one or more supervised machine learning models and/or one or more unsupervised machine learning models. In some embodiments, the machine learning models utilized for feature modeling include a convolutional machine learning model. In some of the embodiments utilizing a convolutional machine learning model to perform feature modeling, the kernels of the convolutional machine learning model may be defined based on data relationships defined based on relational awareness scores generated by the relational awareness modeling engine  111 . For example, the relational awareness modeling engine  111  may determine a strong relationship between person data objects of the type executive and event objects of the type earning call and thus look for combinations of the terms associated with the two noted data objects using a particular feature extraction kernel of a convolutional neural network. 
     At step/operation  3704 , the external integration engine  114  performs output generation based on the feature modeling data generated in step/operation  3703 . The generated output includes one or more unintegrated data object relationships each defined by one or more unintegrated data object relationship parameters, where the unintegrated data object relationship parameters for each unintegrated data object relationship are determined based on the feature modeling data associated with the digital document. The generated output may further include text summarization data, document classification data, and sentiment detection data. 
     At step/operation  3603 , the external integration engine  114  generates one or more relational awareness scores for each unintegrated data object relationship generated in step/operation  3603 . In some embodiments, for each unintegrated data object relationship of the one or more unintegrated data object relationships, the external integration engine  114  generates one or more relational absorption parameters for the unintegrated data object relationship, and generates, based at least in part on the one or more relational absorption parameters, a respective relational awareness score for the unintegrated data object relationship with respect to each related data object of the one or more related data objects that is associated with the unintegrated data object relationship. In some embodiments, by generating data object relationships between a new data object and existing data objects of a relationally aware database as well as generating relational awareness scores for the newly generated data object relationships, the external integration engine  114  performs external integration of the new data object into the relationally aware database in an effective and efficient manner. In some embodiments, a continuous altering of relationships creates a ripple effect, where the change, addition, or removal of an object can create new relationships, create new relationship parameters for existing relationships, and impact existing relationship parameters. 
     In some embodiments, generating each relational awareness score for an unintegrated data object relationship includes mapping the one or more relational absorption parameters for the unintegrated data object relationship to a relational score extrapolation score for the group of integrated data object relationships, wherein the relational score extrapolation space is comprising one or more input dimensions associated with the one or more relational absorption parameters and one or more output dimensions associated with one or more relational awareness parameters; and determining the relational awareness score based at least in part on the one or more relational awareness parameters. In some embodiments, determining each relational awareness score for an unintegrated data object relationship based at least in part on the relational score extrapolation space includes utilizing a supervised machine learning model (e.g., a neural network machine learning model) defined by the input space and output space of the relationship extrapolation space. In some embodiments, determining each relational awareness score for an unintegrated data object relationship based at least in part on the relational score extrapolation space includes utilizing a supervised machine learning model (e.g., a neural network machine learning model) defined by the input space and output space of the relationship extrapolation space. In some embodiments, determining each relational awareness score for an unintegrated data object relationship based at least in part on the relational score extrapolation space includes utilizing an online machine learning model (e.g., a follow-the-regularized-leader machine learning model) defined by the input space and output space of the relationship extrapolation space.
