Abstract
A method, system and article of manufacture for processing queries and, more particularly, for graphically representing relationships between different queries. One embodiment provides a method for graphically representing a relationship between a first and a second query. The method includes selecting, from the first and second queries, elements to be compared. On the basis of the selected elements, a degree of similarity between the first and second queries is calculated. The method further includes displaying a first query object representative of the first query and a second query object representative of the second query in a user interface. The first and second query objects are positionally arranged on the basis of the calculated degree of similarity. The positional arrangement reflects the relationship between the first and second queries.
