Systems and methods for displaying and querying heterogeneous sets of data

A system for generating a visualization interface comprises:

• a processor,
• a retrieving module executed by the processor having inputs and outputs, configured to retrieve data used to generate the visualization interface, the input of the retrieving module configured to receive data from a data source,
• an analysis module executed by the processor having an input and an output, configured to generate an object, a parameter, a correlation element and a correlation value from received data, where the correlation value is determined by a weighted function, and the correlation value determines a visual attribute for display of the correlation element, the input of the analysis module coupled to the output of the receiving module;
• and
• a rendering module executed by the processor having an input and an output, configured to generate the visualization interface including a first area, a second area, the object, the parameter and the correlation element, wherein the second area is positioned about the periphery of the first area to make the first area a center of attention, the display of the generated object is augmented responsive to an increase in the correlation between the object and the parameter, and the input of the rendering module is coupled to the output of the analysis module.
