Base Claim:
1. A method, comprising: locating at least one data element matching a user query of a predefined relational database; extending results of the user query with weighted relevant data elements, the weighted relevant data elements being data elements having been identified as relevant based on participation in one or more relationships in which the at least one data element participates in the predefined relational database, and provided a relative weighting according to a degree of relationship to the at least one data element; prior to the locating of the at least one data element, calculating global weights and centrality scores for entities of the predefined relational database, wherein each entity comprises a data element; locating images for a result set, at least one image representative of the at least one data element matching the user query and at least one image representative of the one or more weighted data elements; and creating, using the images located for the result set, a composited image, the composited image created using at least one domain-specific visual template, the composited image comprising the at least one image representative of the at least one data element matching the user query and the at least one image representative of the one or more weighted relevant data elements, wherein the composited image rendered such that the at least one image representative of the at least one data element matching the user query having visual primacy and the at least one image representative of the one or more weighted data elements being marginalized in accordance with the relative weighting of the relevant data elements, and wherein the at least one image representative of the one or more weighted relevant data elements not explicitly matched by the user query, identified as relevant due to being located via the extension of the user query, and having the relative weighting subsequently penalized accordingly, causing marginalization in the composited image and enabling the at least one image representative of the at least one data element matching the user query to maintain visual primacy in the composited image.
