Abstract: A method of displaying information relating to one or more entities, the method including, in an electronic processing device, generating a network representation, the representation including a number of nodes, each node being indicative of a corresponding entity, and a number of connections between nodes, the connections being indicative of relationships between the entities. The method further includes causing the network representation to be displayed to a user, in response to user input commands, determining at least one user selected node corresponding to a user selected entity, determining at least one search to be performed in respective of the corresponding entity associated with the at least one user selected node, performing the at least one search to thereby determine additional information regarding the entity and causing any additional information to be presented to the user.

Abstract: A method of managing corporate data, the method including, in one or more electronic processing devices hosting a workspace associated with workspace corporate data, providing users access to the workspace in accordance with user access permissions to thereby allow the users to perform actions relating to the workspace corporate data, the actions including at least one of selecting workspace corporate data to be acquired from one or more corporate data sources, viewing the workspace corporate data, manipulating the workspace corporate data and updating the workspace corporate data.
