Semantic discovery

A system comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• one or more processors and/or circuits coupled to the memory and configured to perform operations comprising:
• retrieving a plurality of entities from a database instance;
• generating a semantic graph representation of the plurality of entities within a graphical user interface, wherein the semantic graph representation is comprised of a plurality of nodes and a plurality of edges connecting the plurality of nodes, wherein any pair of nodes that are relevant to each other are connected one or more of the plurality of edges;
• receiving context information from a user;
• determining a focus node from the plurality of nodes using the context information;
• determining a semantic context of the focus node wherein the semantic context includes the focus node, a subset of the plurality of nodes, and subset of the plurality of edges, wherein the subset of nodes are determined to have relevancies to the focus node and are connected to the focus node by the subset of the plurality of edges;
• and
• displaying, responsive to the receiving, a visual indication of the semantic context within the graphical user interface.

A non-transitory computer-readable device having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by at least one computing device, cause the at least one computing device to perform operations comprising:

• retrieving a plurality of entities from a database instance;
• generating a semantic graph representation of the plurality of entities within a graphical user interface, wherein the semantic graph representation is comprised of a plurality of nodes and a plurality of edges connecting the plurality of nodes, wherein any pair of nodes that are relevant to each other are connected one or more of the plurality of edges;
• receiving context information from a user;
• determining a focus node from the plurality of nodes using the context information;
• determining a semantic context of the focus node wherein the semantic context includes the focus node, a subset of the plurality of nodes, and subset of the plurality of edges, wherein the subset of nodes are determined to have relevancies to the focus node and are connected to the focus node by the subset of the plurality of edges;
• and
• displaying, responsive to the receiving, a visual indication of the semantic context within the graphical user interface.
