Abstract

A method and system for interactively exploring data objects is provided. A user action selecting a portion of a first one of the data objects. The selected portion of the first one of the data objects comprising at least one attribute correspondingly mapped to a meaning. At least one query is retrieved, the at least one query comprising at least one input parameter correspondingly mapped to the meaning associated with the at least one attribute of the selected portion. In response to a user selection of the retrieved query, a value of the at least one attribute of the selected portion is passed as input to the retrieved query. A search request is generated based on the retrieved query with the passed value as the input parameter to obtain at least a second data object representing supplementary data related to the first one of the data objects.
