Abstract: To provide visualization data to a client device, a server generates a plurality of display objects for selectively displaying at the client device to a user. Each display object includes at least one of a data portion and a graphics portion. The plurality of display objects is assigned to a plurality of vertices organized as a logical display tree. A mask specifying visual characteristics of the plurality of vertices is created. The visual characteristics of a given vertex simultaneously controls display attributes of all display objects assigned to the given vertex. The server transmits a description of the plurality of display objects, the logical display tree and the mask in a payload format.

Abstract: Changes to information are managed by storing information as a plurality of objects. Each object has one or more states. One or more temporal histories are maintained for each object based on the plurality of states of the object at a plurality of time instances. For each state of the object, whether or not the state is a user of another state of the object or another object is determined. When a request to change the information is received, at least one state of at least one of the plurality of objects is selectively changed. When it is determined that the at least one state is the user of another state, then the changing is further responsive to changes in the another state.

Abstract: A display structure that includes data items mapped based on relationships among the data items is visually presented on a user interface. The displayed data includes blocks of data received over a block data interface. The display structure may include a first portion indicative of availability of multiple 2-dimensional views of the data items and a second portion for the user to select one of the multiple 2-dimensional views to become an active view that is viewable by the user.

Abstract: A user interface includes a first display area which includes a first control widget representative of a first attribute group and a second control widget representative of the second attribute group, and a second display area in which a first measure of a first portion of a plurality of data items can be displayed in response to a user activating the first control widget. A first classification attribute from a first attribute group and a second classification attribute from a second attribute group are associated with each data item of the plurality of data items. A multi-description is generated for each data item, the multi-description including a list of pairs of the first classification attribute and the second classification attribute.
