Abstract
A visual discovery tool for graph generation is described. The visual discovery tool has a database for storing a data set, rules, and graph types and a graph generator for selectively applying rules and graph types to the data set to generate graphs. In one embodiment, triggers and threshold values are stored in the database to determine the execution of the graph generator. In another embodiment, a user interface enables the customization of the rules and graph types.
Claims21
A method of automatically generating graphs for data sets, comprising the following steps:
- selecting a data set;
- applying a rule to the data set;
- and
- generating at least one graph based on the data set and rule applied.
5 The method as claimed in claim 2 wherein the publishing step includes publishing a graph to a website.
A system for automatic graph generation from data sets, comprising:
- a database storing a data set, at least one rule, and at least one graph type;
- and
- a graph generator selectively applying at least one rule and graph type to the data set to generate at least one graph.
14 The system as claimed in claim 13, wherein the data set includes at least one of data, metadata, OLAP cubes, dimensional tables, lookup tables, and summary tables.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
