Abstract
A system and method for analyzing a plurality of data elements having both temporal and spatial properties, where a first data element and a second data element of the plurality of data elements are linked by at least one association element. The system and method include selecting the first data element from the plurality of data elements and providing at least one search criteria for use in analyzing the properties of the plurality of data elements with respect to at least one property of the first data element. An analysis module is used to apply the at least one search criteria to the properties of the plurality of data elements for identifying the second data element from the plurality of data elements and the corresponding at least one association element. The at least one association element is configured for representing a connection between the first data element and the second data element, such that the connection has a first property common to a property of the first data element and a second property common to a property of the second data element. A visualization module is used to generate a visual representation of the first and second data elements and the associati…
