## Abstract

This disclosure is directed to a social networking server that includes different engines and databases to support the generation of visually meaningful electronic presentations that present member-provided data in one or more graphical and understandable charts and graphs. An electronic presentation includes one or more electronic documents where various ones of the electronic documents are generated from templates that specify the “look-and-feel” for a given type of electronic document. Rather than having to manually enter and design graphs and charts to present member-provided data in a meaningful way, the social networking server leverages the stored electronic document templates to create these charts and graphs. However, as there may be multiple systems involved in creating a given type of chart or graph, the social networking server is tasked with coordinating the efforts of these different systems.

### Claim 8

A method comprising:
receiving, by at least one hardware processor, a plurality of user selections, the user selections specifying labor market options for generating an electronic presentation incorporating labor market information corresponding to the plurality of user selections;
identifying, by at least one hardware processor, a plurality of member profiles stored in a member profile database using at least one of the plurality of user selections, each member profile corresponding to an individual member of a social networking service;
identifying, by at least one hardware processor, a plurality of organization profiles stored in the member profile database using the at least one of the plurality of user selections, each organization profile corresponding to an organizational member of the social networking service;
extracting, by at least one hardware processor, a first plurality of attribute values from the plurality of member profiles and a second plurality of attribute values from the plurality of organization profiles, the first plurality and second plurality of attribute values based on at least one of the received plurality of user selections;
