Method for providing a network graphical representation of database records

摘要

Methods for Providing a Network Graphical Representation of Database Records. Database records are selected according to descriptive criteria, wherein each of the database records are members of a common record class. Attributes of the common record class and identified and network nodes are associated to instances of the attributes from the database records. The network nodes are connected with network links that designate network nodes having common instances of the attributes such that the network nodes have a one-to-many relationship with the network links. The identifying and connecting steps are iteratively executed while modifying the descriptive criteria to change the selected database records.

1. A computer-based method of providing a network graphical representation of two or more database records, comprising:
selecting, by a selectively activated or reconfigured processor, the two or more database records according to one or more descriptive criteria, wherein each of the two or more database records are members of a common record class; identifying, by the selectively activated or reconfigured processor, one or more attributes of the common record class, and associating network nodes to instances of the one or more attributes from the database records; connecting, by the selectively activated or reconfigured processor, the network nodes with network links that designate network nodes having common instances of the one or more attributes such that the network nodes have a one-to-many relationship with the network links; and iteratively executing, by the selectively activated or reconfigured processor, the identifying and connecting steps while modifying the one or more descriptive criteria to change the selected two or more database records.
