Abstract
A multi-dimensional glyph for visually presenting data relating to a project comprises a plurality of component objects representing different data items, each component object having a color-coded attribute relating to the data item presented and having an attribute for encoding data item changes over time. A system for generating each glyph includes a device for representing various data items extracted from a database as display objects, and a device for arranging the display objects as a visually recognizable glyph for presenting the data items simultaneously on a graphics display, the objects of the glyph being color coded to define a type of data and having attributes for presenting changes of the data item over time. The system is interactive enabling manipulation of the glyph on the display for visualizing a developmental state of a data item at a prior point in time.
