Abstract
Disclosed is an exemplary computer program application, system and method for a unified approach to managing data from heterogeneous sources. The system includes a central, semantic data storage basing on a directed labeled graph model, a module for accessing data sources by drawing access and mapping configuration from the data storage and loading the resulting data into the data storage and a unified user interface that treats each graph node in the data storage as a separate term, visualizes and modified the term's context in the data graph using configurable user interface widgets.

1-19. (canceled)
A computer-implemented method for collaboratively modifying data for presentation in a multiple user environment, comprising:
- obtaining, by a computer processor, webpages and associated metadata from multiple data sources, wherein, for each of the webpages, the respective associated metadata of the webpage includes information identifying relationships between data elements of the respective webpage with each other or other data elements;
- for each identified relationship, automatically modifying, by the processor, the information to further relate the data elements of the identified relationship with a further data element representing the respective data source from which the webpage including the data elements of the identified relationship were obtained;
- storing, by the processor and in a memory device, the modified information;
- and
- presenting, by the processor and in a display device, a graphical user interface in which each of the data elements of the stored modified information is user selectable, in response to which selection data is displayed according to one or more relationships to which the selected data element belongs.
