Abstract

A method of building a dataset in a computing system includes extracting data meeting a predetermined criteria from at least a first database, filling the dataset with data items, extracting from the first database relationships between the data items meeting the predetermined criteria, and filling the dataset with the relationships. A system for building a dataset in a computing system includes a data extraction module, a data populating module, a relationship extraction module, and a relationship populating module. The data extraction module extracts data meeting a predetermined criteria from at least a first database. The data populating module fills the dataset with data items. The relationship extraction module extracts from the first database relationships between the data items meeting the predetermined criteria. The relationship populating module fills the dataset with the relationships. A dataset contained within memory of a computing system includes a table component for containing data extracted from a database. The dataset also includes a relations component for containing relationships extracted from the database.
