Method for determining and representing a data ontology

A method, comprising:

• receiving data from one or more data sources at a computing device;
• generating a data frame based on the received data using the computing device, the data frame comprising a plurality of data items;
• determining a data ontology at the computing device, wherein the data ontology comprises a plurality of datanodes;
• determining a plurality of data pins using the computing device, wherein a first data pin of the plurality of data pins comprises a first reference and a second reference, wherein the first reference for the first data pin refers to a first data item in the data frame, wherein the second reference for the first data pin refers to a first datanode of the plurality of datanodes, and wherein the first datanode is related to the first data item;
• obtaining, at the computing device, data for the first data item at the first datanode of the data ontology via the first data pin;
• and
• providing a representation of the data ontology using the computing device.
