Displaying ranked categories of data in a Venn diagram

A computer system comprising:

• at least one computing device including a processor and a storage hardware component having a development program stored thereon, wherein the at least one computing device is configured to manage data by executing, on the processor, the development program, the development program instructing the computing device to carry out:
• assigning each of a plurality of entries in the data to one of a plurality of categories based on at least one of a plurality of attributes of each entry;
• ranking, for each criterion in a set of criteria, the plurality of categories based on the criterion and a set of entries in each category, each criterion in the set of criteria using a unique set of the plurality of attributes distinct from the at least one of the plurality of attributes corresponding to each of the plurality of categories;
• generating a Venn diagram for displaying the rankings, the Venn diagram including a circle for each criterion and at least one visual representation for each of the plurality of categories corresponding to at least one of the set of criteria, wherein each of the at least one visual representation comprises an emphasis corresponding to the ranking for the corresponding category and is visually associated with the circle for the corresponding criterion;
• and
• providing the Venn diagram for display to a user.

A computer program comprising program code stored on a computer-readable storage hardware component, which when executed, enables a computer system to implement a method of managing data, the method comprising:

• assigning each of a plurality of entries in the data to one of a plurality of categories based on at least one of a plurality of attributes of each entry;
• ranking, for each criterion in a set of criteria, the plurality of categories based on the criterion and a set of entries in each category, each criterion in the set of criteria using a unique set of the plurality of attributes distinct from the at least one of the plurality of attributes corresponding to each of the plurality of categories;
• generating a Venn diagram for displaying the rankings, the Venn diagram including a circle for each criterion and at least one visual representation for each of the plurality of categories corresponding to at least one of the set of criteria, wherein each of the at least one visual representation comprises an emphasis corresponding to the ranking for the corresponding category and is visually associated with the circle for the corresponding criterion;
• and
• providing the Venn diagram for display to a user.

A method of generating a system for managing data, the method comprising:

• providing a computer system operable to:
• assign each of a plurality of entries in the data to one of a plurality of categories based on at least one of a plurality of attributes of each entry;
• rank, for each criterion in a set of criteria, the plurality of categories based on the criterion and a set of entries in each category, each criterion in the set of criteria using a unique set of the plurality of attributes distinct from the at least one of the plurality of attributes corresponding to each of the plurality of categories;
• generate a Venn diagram for displaying the rankings, the Venn diagram including a circle for each criterion and at least one visual representation for each of the plurality of categories corresponding to at least one of the set of criteria, wherein each of the at least one visual representation comprises an emphasis corresponding to the ranking for the corresponding category and is visually associated with the circle for the corresponding criterion;
• and
• provide the Venn diagram for display to a user.
