Abstract

A computer-implemented method includes analyzing a first dataset to extract metadata that corresponds to a first visualization; analyzing a second dataset to extract metadata; comparing the metadata of the datasets; deriving based on the comparing, a level of correlation between attributes of the datasets; establishing a score for each of the levels of correlation; determining that a first attribute of the first dataset and a first attribute of the second dataset are a match in response to the establishing of a score for the level of correlation of the first attributes of the datasets; determining that the datasets are related in response to the determining that the first attributes of the datasets are a match; and directing the displaying of a second visualization, the second visualization being a visual representation that includes data from the second dataset.

Dependent claims

A computer-implemented method comprising:

analyzing, by a computer device, a first dataset to extract metadata of the first dataset, the first dataset corresponding to a first visualization;
analyzing, by the computer device, a second dataset to extract metadata of the second dataset;
comparing, by the computer device, the metadata of the first dataset to the metadata of the second dataset;
deriving, by the computer device, and based on the comparing, a level of correlation between attributes of the first dataset and attributes of the second dataset;
establishing, by the computer device, a score for each of the levels of correlation;
determining, by the computer device, that a first attribute of the first dataset and a first attribute of the second dataset are a match in response to the establishing of a score for the level of correlation of the first attribute of the first dataset and a first attribute of the second dataset;
determining, by the computer device, that the first dataset and the second dataset are related in response to the determining that the first attribute of the first dataset and the first attribute of the second dataset are a match;
and
directing, by the computer device, the displaying of a second visualization, the second visualization being a visual representation that includes data from the second dataset.
