System And Method For Redistributing Interest In A Hierarchical Data Structure Representation

A system for redistributing interest in a hierarchical data structure representation, comprising:

• a display of a data representation of a hierarchical data structure comprising depth levels having one or more blocks of sibling nodes associated with node interest characteristics, wherein two or more of the sibling nodes are combined as aggregates into elided subsets;
• a selection module to select one of the elided subsets in one of the blocks and to expand the selected elided subset to reveal the aggregated sibling nodes;
• a breadth determination module to determine a breadth of the depth level in which the one block is located and to further determine that the breadth exceeds a constrained breadth extent for the data representation;
• and
• an aggregation module to decrease the breadth by ordering the sibling nodes in the depth level by their respective node interest characteristic and by combining at least a portion of the sibling nodes in the depth level into the elided subset based on a comparison of the respective node interest characteristics such that the breadth does not exceed the constrained breadth extent.
