Abstract: An industrial data analytics service facilitates gathering, manipulation, and presentation of data obtained from one or more disparate sources and streaming devices. The data analytics service enables users to specify a data source through which to obtain operational data and other information (e.g., gathered data). Subsequent to forming a connection with the data source, a sample data set is obtained by the data analytics service and used to determine an inventory of categories prior to saving the gathered data at the data analytics service. A user may then tailor the inventory of categories so that the data needed to meet business requirements is stored by the data analytics service. The data analytics service may analyze the stored data to determine one or more contexts (e.g., relationships, etc.) and present the contextual information in a storyboard.
