A system implemented on at least one computer (102, 104) that includes a display, the system comprising: a memory storing a plurality of data elements, wherein the memory comprises: a data element database storing the plurality of data elements and storing relationships between at least some of the plurality of data elements, each data element associated with a unique data element identifier (DEID); and a geographic database storing geographic information, wherein the geographic database also stores a plurality of DEIDs to associate each of the data elements stored in data element database with related geographic information stored in the geographic database; wherein the system is configured to extract information from the data element database and to extract information from the geographic database based on search terms of a received search; a relationship context tool configured to, based on the information extracted from the data element database, display in a first view on the display a plurality of data element indicia, each indicia representing a respective data element, and a plurality of relationships between the data elements represented in the first view; a geophysical context tool configured to, based on the information extracted from the geographic database, and at the same time as said display in the first view, display in a second view on the display a geographic map and a plurality of data element indicia each representing a respective data element, wherein the indicia in the second view include indicia representing at least one of the data elements represented in the first view and indicia representing other data elements not represented in the first view, wherein the display of the indicia representing the at least one data element in both the first view and the second view is accomplished using the DEID of the at least one data element; and a visualization integration tool configured to change the display in one of the first view or the second view in response to a change made in the other of the first view or the second view in response to a user input; a relationship builder module configured to define a new relationship between a first data element and second data element represented by data element indicia in either the first view or the second view, wherein the system is configured to display, in the first view, the new relationship and the system is further configured to transmit information to the data element database that is indicative of the new relationship. a memory storing a plurality of data elements, wherein the memory comprises: a data element database storing the plurality of data elements and storing relationships between at least some of the plurality of data elements, each data element associated with a unique data element identifier (DEID);
