  • Publication number: 20190347280
    Abstract: The disclosure extends to methods, systems, and devices for visualizing hierarchical data within a computing environment. In order to display and visualize the hierarchical data in a meaningful manner, the disclosed methods condenses or suppresses the space occupied by the detailed textual information that is often part of such hierarchical data charts or graphs. The disclosure uses pop-up windows to output the formerly suppressed textual detail. Thus, in order to efficiently display more entities per unit display space, the disclosure displays less textual detail per node for all entities in the chart or graph, and compensates by using mouse over pop-up events to display the suppressed, hidden, or compressed details.

  • Publication number: 20180011904
    Abstract: A system for identifying records that likely include information about new records or individuals includes a candidate component, a relationship component, and a marking component. The candidate component is configured to obtain information about a candidate record that includes information matching information of a target record. The target record is stored in a database that includes a plurality of records and relationships between the records. The relationship component is configured to determine that the candidate record includes a greater number of hierarchal relationships of a specific relationship type than the target record. The marking component is configured to mark one or more of the candidate record and the target record for review to indicate that a potentially new record or individual for the database has been identified.
