Patent ID: 8065253

Claim:
A computer-implemented method comprising: accessing a plurality of data elements; detecting direct relationships between some of the data elements; determining a total link strength between two data elements, the total link strength determined by combining i) the link strength between one of the two data elements and a third data element and ii) the link strength between the other of the two data elements and the third data element, wherein an implied valid relationship exists between the two data elements if the total link strength exceeds a threshold; displaying, in a display device, an interactive view comprising a first sub-view and a second sub-view, the first sub-view comprising a representation of at least one of the direct relationships and the implied valid relationship, the second sub-view comprising a representation of a context associated with the data elements; using a unique data element identifier (DEID) associated with a data element to retrieve first information for the data element from a first database and second information for the data element from a second database; and generating the first sub-view using the first information and generating the second sub-view using the second information.
