Claim One:
1. A computer-implemented method for visualizing relationships between objects, comprising the steps of: a processor receiving a request to generate a graph that displays at least two relationships between at least two objects; said processor retrieving the at least two objects from a computer readable storage medium; said processor transforming the objects into nodes; said processor transforming a first of the relationships connecting two of the nodes into a first edge; said processor labeling the first edge with a relationship type of the first relationship; said processor transforming a second of the relationships connecting two of the nodes into a second edge; said processor labeling the second edge with a relationship type of the second relationship; said processor collapsing the first and second edges onto a single line; said processor applying a label to the single line for each edge that was collapsed onto the single line; said processor ordering each label applied to the single line along the single line according to an ordering of the relationship types; and said processor generating a graph that displays a visualization of said ordered labels.
