  • Graphical user interface for modeling data
    Patent number: 9767179
    Abstract: Techniques are described for modeling data in a graphical user interface. In one example, a method for modeling data includes generating for output a plurality of data item graphical representations, wherein the data item graphical representations represent data items. The method further includes receiving one or more inputs to select two or more data items from the data item graphical representations and to select a connecting option. The method further includes generating, in response to the one or more inputs, a hierarchical association between the two or more data items, such that the hierarchical association corresponds to the selected connecting option. The method further includes generating for output a hierarchical data graphical representation that graphically represents the two or more data items and the hierarchical association between the two or more data items.
