Progressive data distribution visualization

A system, comprising:

• a processor for executing computer program instructions;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising stored computer program instructions executable by the processor, the instructions when executed cause the processor to:
• retrieve, from a dataset, bubble data corresponding to a concept in the dataset, the dataset including records from one or more databases organized into a concept hierarchy, wherein the bubble data includes, for a level of the concept hierarchy, a plurality of distinct values pertaining to the concept and a plurality of records in the dataset that include at least one of the distinct values pertaining to the concept;
• display, on a visual interface, a bubble based on the bubble data in a bubble visualization, the bubble comprising a geometric shape and a plurality of dashes, each dash corresponding to one of the distinct values at the level of the concept hierarchy;
• receive an indication of an interaction with the bubble visualization at the bubble;
• and
• display, on the visual interface, responsive to receiving the indication, an update of the bubble visualization by adjusting the plurality of dashes into segments that each indicate, by length, a relative quantity of the number of records in the dataset including the corresponding one of the distinct values.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing computer program instructions executable by a processor to perform one or more operations, the operations comprising:

• retrieving, from a dataset, bubble data corresponding to a concept in the dataset, the dataset including records from one or more databases organized into a concept hierarchy, wherein the bubble data includes, for a level of the concept hierarchy, a plurality of distinct values pertaining to the concept and a plurality of records in the dataset that each include at least one of the distinct values pertaining to the concept;
• displaying, on a visual interface, a bubble based on the bubble data in a bubble visualization, the bubble comprising a geometric shape and a plurality of dashes, each dash corresponding to one of the distinct values at the level of the concept hierarchy;
• receiving an indication of an interaction with the bubble visualization at the bubble;
• and
• displaying, on the visual interface, responsive to receiving the indication of the interaction, an updated bubble visualization by adjusting the plurality of dashes into segments that each indicate, by length, a relative quantity of the plurality of records in the dataset including the corresponding one of the distinct values.
