System and method for arranging concept clusters in thematic relationships in a two-dimensional visual display space

A method for generating a two-dimensional spatial arrangement of a multi-dimensional cluster rendering, comprising:

• selecting a set of clusters from a concept space comprising a multiplicity of clusters visualizing document content based on extracted terms, each cluster in the clusters set sharing a common theme comprising shared terms;
• determining an anchor point on at least one such cluster within the clusters set, the anchor point comprising at least one open edge formed along a vector defined from the center of the at least one such cluster;
• and
• arranging the clusters in the clusters set into an arrangement of adjacent clusters originating from the anchor point at one such open edge.

A method for arranging concept clusters in thematic relationship in a two-dimensional visual display space, comprising:

• selecting clusters from a multi-dimensional visualization space sharing a common theme comprising at least one concept, each theme logically representing one or more concepts based on terms extracted from a document set;
• combining in order each cluster not yet grouped from the selected clusters for the shared common theme into a list of placeable clusters;
• and
• grafting each clusters list into a grouping of one or more other clusters lists at an anchor point comprising an open edge formed along a vector defined from the center of one such cluster in the grouping, the clusters in each other clusters list sharing at least one concept represented in the shared common theme.
