The disclosed principles provide on-demand systems and related methods for identifying, categorizing, calculating, formatting, aggregating, linking, and visualizing multi-dimensional data in an interactive simulation environment. Simulation results are customized for each end-user based on selection criteria provided by the end-user via interactive network-based dashboards. The disclosed principles may be deployed either as an on-demand or SaaS deployment, public or private, or on the user's own servers. Business data for any number of businesses, executives, employees and individuals may be provided by any data source including customers/subscribers. The disclosed system/service does not rely on data provided from end-users, such as personal contact databases, electronic rolodexes, career job sites, or business or social media networking websites. Instead, the disclosed principles provide an aggregation of data in any of a number of categories to end users for their use in identifying relationships between, for example, employers, customers, competitors, prospects, partners, vendors, business consultants, investors, mergers, executives, employees, clients, and individuals. |

1. A computer implemented system for retrieving application metadata and presenting a multi-dimensional visual representation of a plurality of metadata objects, the system comprising:
a data storage for storing empirical information in profiles corresponding to entities, the empirical information comprising attributes of said entities gathered from a plurality of data sources external to said system; a user interface configured to receive a query from a user of the system, the query comprising a plurality of empirical search criteria seeking one or more of said entities having attributes matching said empirical search criteria; a data aggregator configured to:
retrieve profiles from the data storage having one or more attributes matching at least one of the empirical search criteria, andidentify matching attributes common to one or more groups of a plurality of entities corresponding to the retrieved profiles; a visualization component configured to gather the retrieved profiles and to provide a visual indicator corresponding to each of the identified matching attributes common among each plurality of entities; and a display generator configured to create one or more visible matrices for display to the user, each comprising a presentation of the retrieved profiles and the visual indicators illustrating the identified matching attributes common among each plurality of entities. |
