  • Publication number: 20060129977
    Abstract: A computer program consisting of or including a data editor and/or a relationship editor, the editor constructed so that when it is running it presents a series of data nodes on a display screen wherein such nodes can be selected to enable editing of data corresponding to each node without a user having to open a window, frame or panel, to access such data, or a user having to go to a separate window, frame, or panel and open a file there to access such data.
