Abstract
A method builds data visualization data flow graphs. A visual specification is received that defines characteristics of a data visualization to be rendered based on data from one or more databases. The method receives metadata for the specified databases. Using the metadata and visual specification, form a data flow graph, which is a directed graph including data nodes and transform nodes. Each transform node specifies a set of inputs for retrieval, where each input corresponds to a data node. Each transform node also specifies a transform operator that identifies an operation to be performed on the inputs. Some transform nodes specify (a) a set of outputs corresponding to respective data nodes and (b) a function for use in performing the operation of the transform node. The method thereby builds a data flow graph that can be executed to render a data visualization according to the visual specification using the databases.
