Abstract

Claims (70)

1. A method comprising:

generating a first group of data objects based on a first object property, wherein generating the first group of data objects comprises identifying a subset of data objects from a larger group of data objects that are associated with a first object property;

generating second group of data objects based on a second object property, the second object property being different than the first object property, wherein generating the second group of data objects comprises identifying a second subset of data objects from the larger group of data objects that are associated with the second object property, the second group of data objects including at least one data object that is also included in the first group of data objects;

generating summary information that summarizes a relationship between the first group of data objects and the second group of data objects without including the second object property itself;

generating a visualization comprising a plurality of nodes including a first node that represents the first group of data objects and including the summary information; and

causing presentation of the visualization on a user interface of a user device of a user.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving user input indicating a user-specified action relating to a group identifier; and

performing the user-specified action with data objects identified by the group identifier.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the user-specified action comprises a modification of the first group of data objects, and the modification includes at least one of a group union, a group intersection, or a group split.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

determining a suggested modification of the first group of data objects based on an analysis of data objects included in the first group of data objects;

causing presentation of an option to perform the suggested modification of the first group of data objects on the user interface of the user device;

receiving an input indicative of a selection of the option to perform the suggested modification of the first group; and

updating the visualization according to the suggested modification of the first group of data objects.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving a user input indicating a user-specified modification to the visualization;

during a first session at a first time, storing a visualization configuration comprising the user-specified modifications; and

during a second session at a second time after the first time, generating the visualization according to the stored visualization configuration.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

identifying the relationship between the first group of data objects and the second group of data objects; and

generating the visualization to include the first node and a second node that represents the second group of data objects, wherein the visualization includes a visual indication of the identified relationship between the first node of data objects and the second node of data objects.

7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the first node and the second node are arranged in the visualization according to a layout specifying rule for placing nodes within the visualization.

8. A system comprising:

one or more computer processors; and

one or more computer-readable mediums storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more computer processors, cause the system to perform operations comprising:

generating a first group of data objects based on a first object property, wherein generating the first group of data objects comprises identifying a subset of data objects from a larger group of data objects that are associated with a first object property;

generating second group of data objects based on a second object property, the second object property being different than the first object property, wherein generating the second group of data objects comprises identifying a second subset of data objects from the larger group of data objects that are associated with the second object property, the second group of data objects including at least one data object that is also included in the first group of data objects;

generating summary information that summarizes a relationship between the first group of data objects and the second group of data objects without including the second object property itself;

generating a visualization comprising a plurality of nodes including a first node that represents the first group of data objects and including the summary information; and

causing presentation of the visualization on a user interface of a user device of a user.

9. The system of claim 8 , the operations further comprising:

receiving user input indicating a user-specified action relating to a group identifier; and

performing the user-specified action with data objects identified by the group identifier.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the user-specified action comprises a modification of the first group of data objects, and the modification includes at least one of a group union, a group intersection, or a group split.

11. The system of claim 8 , the operations further comprising:

determining a suggested modification of the first group of data objects based on an analysis of data objects included in the first group of data objects;

causing presentation of an option to perform the suggested modification of the first group of data objects on the user interface of the user device;

receiving an input indicative of a selection of the option to perform the suggested modification of the first group; and

updating the visualization according to the suggested modification of the first group of data objects.

12. The system of claim 8 , the operations further comprising:

receiving a user input indicating a user-specified modification to the visualization;

during a first session at a first time, storing a visualization configuration comprising the user-specified modifications; and

during a second session at a second time after the first time, generating the visualization according to the stored visualization configuration.

13. The system of claim 8 , the operations further comprising:

identifying the relationship between the first group of data objects and the second group of data objects; and

generating the visualization to include the first node and a second node that represents the second group of data objects, wherein the visualization includes a visual indication of the identified relationship between the first node of data objects and the second node of data objects.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the first node and the second node are arranged in the visualization according to a layout specifying rule for placing nodes within the visualization.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more computer processors of one or more computing devices, cause the one or more computing devices to perform operations comprising:

generating a first group of data objects based on a first object property, wherein generating the first group of data objects comprises identifying a subset of data objects from a larger group of data objects that are associated with a first object property;

generating second group of data objects based on a second object property, the second object property being different than the first object property, wherein generating the second group of data objects comprises identifying a second subset of data objects from the larger group of data objects that are associated with the second object property, the second group of data objects including at least one data object that is also included in the first group of data objects;

generating summary information that summarizes a relationship between the first group of data objects and the second group of data objects without including the second object property itself;

generating a visualization comprising a plurality of nodes including a first node that represents the first group of data objects and including the summary information; and
