Techniques for hierarchy visualization for organizations

摘要

Techniques for hierarchy visualization for organizations are described. An apparatus may comprise an information retrieval component and a profile construction component. The information retrieval component may be generally operative to retrieve information regarding a plurality of individuals from a plurality of data repositories. The profile construction component may be generally operative to create a plurality of profiles from the retrieved information, wherein each profile combines information regarding an individual from the plurality of data repositories. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

主权项

1. An apparatus, comprising:
a processor circuit; an information retrieval component operative on the processor circuit to retrieve information regarding a plurality of individuals from a plurality of data repositories, wherein at least one data repository in the plurality of data repositories is not searchable by an individual in the plurality of individuals who requested a visual representation of hierarchical relationships between the individual and the plurality of individuals; a profile construction component operative on the processor circuit to create a plurality of profiles from the retrieved information, wherein each profile combines information regarding an individual from the plurality of data repositories, and compare pairs of individuals to determine a first individual being of a same rank as a second individual, the first individual being of a higher rank than the second individual, or the first individual being of a lower rank than the second individual; and a display component operative to create a display view showing the visual representation of the hierarchical relationships between the individual and the plurality of individuals and a plurality of profile views for the plurality of individuals, wherein the visual representation of the hierarchical relationships between the plurality of individuals comprises a ranked ordering according to a status of each individual with respect to other individuals in a hierarchical structuring of the plurality of individuals and the plurality of profile views comprise at least one profile view shown with a picture of an individual.
