Abstract: Data stored in large scale systems often includes significant amounts of data and metadata. The data and metadata provide valuable structures for efficient data organization and analysis. However, when the data or metadata is missing, the missing data or metadata can cause disruption in organization and analysis efforts. A system with interactive user interfaces for enrichment of missing data or metadata is described. The system provides various dynamic filters to detect and identify data items with missing data or metadata. The system also provides for intuitive and efficient navigation of data items for determination of the missing data or metadata. Via its user interfaces, the system enables users to supply, or enrich, the missing data or metadata. Additionally, the user interfaces enable users to dynamically change available data or metadata values used for enrichment. Also, the system generates enriched output data sets, which may facilitate analysis of processes and systems.

Abstract: An approach for using multiple menus with a graphical user interface is disclosed. A multiple menu comprises a menu panel with two or more selection regions, each of which is associated with a base menu. A user requests the menu panel without selecting a menu object displayed on a display unit, such as by right-clicking. The menu panel is displayed along with one base menu, and other base menus are displayed by the user moving the cursor to another selection region. The user selects a menu item from a base menu to cause the application to execute the function associated with the menu item. The selection regions of the menu panel do not include information describing the content of the associated base menus. By arranging the base menus around the menu panel, cursor movement is minimized to improve user efficiency in using the application.

Abstract: A data resolution system provides users with the ability to access and create associations between data items tagged in documents as part of an initial process of identifying data items to be tagged in the documents. Thus, the user that is adding tags to the documents is able to identify related data items from other data sources and create links with those data sources. This ability to identify links at the time of tagging reduces the need for later searching of data sources for related data items. Additionally, the system automatically stores information regarding each link so that information regarding the linked data items may be viewed alongside the original document and/or further information regarding the linked data item is easily accessible. Data items that are tagged in a document may be associated with data items representing the same object, but with different identifiers, names, etc. in external data sources.
