Abstract
A neural network (10) organizes the data items into a graphically oriented format by retrieving data items from a database (68) where each data item has a plurality of attributes. The neural network is organized (102) such that data items having similar attributes are assigned to neurons located closer together. The neurons of the neural network are matched (104) with the data items from the database and stored in a cross reference table. The cross reference table is displayed (106) on a computer screen (108) in a graphical format so that user visually relates the food items and sees the similarities and differences in their attribute data by the proximity of the data items to one another. The graphic format allows easy visual interpretation of the data items. For large databases, multiple neural networks (110, 112) can be organized hierarchically.
