  • Data-model-driven visualization of data sets
    Patent number: 10134159
    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system that processes data. During operation, the system obtains a data set and metadata corresponding to a data model, wherein the data model includes a metric and a set of dimensions associated with the metric. Next, the system applies a set of rules to the data set to obtain a deconstruction of the metric by the set of dimensions. Finally, the system displays the deconstruction in one or more charts to a user independently of a domain of the data set.

  • Context-aware glossaries for data sets

    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments provide a system that processes data. During operation, the system obtains a data set and metadata corresponding to a data model. Next, the system displays, within a user interface, a visualization of the data model to a user independently of a domain of the data set. The system then uses the metadata to provide a glossary of terms related to the data model in the user interface without requiring configuration of the glossary for use with the data model.
