Methods and systems for querying and displaying data using interactive three-dimensional representations

A computerized system for electronically searching at least one data source, and displaying the results of said search, comprising:

• a plurality of computer processors communicatively linked to a plurality of users;
• a plurality of memory for storing data, said plurality of memory being communicatively coupled to said at least one of said plurality of computer processors;
• a computer-readable storage medium storing a software program with said software program implemented to perform the method steps of:
• (a) selecting at least one data source to be searched;
• (b) entering at least one search term to be used in the search;
• (c) processing the search of said at least one data source using said at least one search term;
• (d) identifying the data sources that contain a plurality of hits for said search term;
• and
• (e) displaying said hits and search results in a three-dimensional graphical representation using a plurality of nodes and interconnecting links;
• wherein said plurality of nodes represent said at least one data source, and said interconnecting links graphically connect said plurality of nodes.
