Integrated multidimensional view of hierarchical objects

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to the display of multidimensional structures and provide a method, system and computer program product for managing an integrated multidimensional view of a structured collection of objects. In one embodiment of the invention, a data processing system can be configured to render an integrated view of a multidimensional structured collection of objects. The data processing system can include a GUI for a host application in a computing platform and multidimensional view processing logic coupled to the host application. The logic can include program code enabled to render a single, integrated multidimensional view of a structured collection of objects in the GUI.

1. A data processing system configured to render an integrated view of a multidimensional structured collection of objects, the data processing system comprising:
a single graphical user interface (GUI) for a host application in a computing platform; and, multidimensional view processing logic coupled to the host application, the logic comprising program code enabled to render a single multidimensional view of a structured collection of unique objects in the single GUI, wherein different dimensions in the single multidimensional view correspond to different relationships among selected ones of the objects and the single multidimensional view in the single GUI consisting of a parent-child relationship and also at least one of (1) a membership and access privileges relationship, (2) a date, time and places relationship, and (3) an alerts, and notifications and alarms relationship, and each relationship is selectively rendered in the GUI in response to selecting a corresponding activatable icon of at least two activatable icons, the activatable icons disposed along a first dimension whereby selection of each activatable icon causes each relationship to be rendered in a different dimension than the first dimension.
