System to facilitate guided navigation of direct-access databases for advanced analytics

A system to facilitate user guidance to risk relationship documents for an enterprise, comprising:

• (a) a risk relationship document data store containing a set of electronic data records, each electronic data record being associated with a risk relationship document and including a document identifier and a set of document metadata values;
• (b) a document navigation computer, coupled to the risk relationship document data store, programmed to:
• (i) receive information from a user associated with the enterprise,
• (ii) based on the information received from the user and document metadata values, dynamically create a sub-set of the documents in the risk relationship data document data store, and
• (iii) provide an ability for users to share, update, and communicate information, including the metadata values;
• (c) an interactive user interface display computer, coupled to the document navigation computer, programmed to:
• (i) provide indications associated with the documents in the dynamically created sub-set to the user via an interactive user interface,
• (ii) receive, via the interactive user interface, a selected document of the dynamically created sub-set, and
• (iii) responsive to the selection, deliver the selected document to a remote user device;
• and
• (d) a navigation repository within the document navigation computer, including a business data repository that contains:
• a repository data dictionary to store business information in human-readable text, including a column name, a column definition, and valid values for a column, the repository data dictionary being searchable via a plain text search,
• an ontology tagging element to tag users and components of the business data repository among each other, and
• a repository schema for tables, columns, and cells;
• wherein the system collects user navigation decisions and the navigation decisions are automatically analyzed to redesign graphical user interfaces and navigation paths within the selected document, and further wherein increased user experience increases weights assigned to navigation decisions during said analysis, and
• further wherein data elements gathered from any point in a navigation path are stored to a repository that serves as input to a general-purpose artificial intelligence engine for recommendations for continual improvement through the intervention of human beings trained in data science.
