Abstract

Various systems and related methods involve navigating, finding, and visually presenting data objects or sets of data objects. In one implementation, a set of data objects is visually presented as a graphical element and one or more semantic relationships between the graphical element and other sets of data objects are visually presented. Furthermore, this includes a method for finding related sets of data objects by presenting different search paths and enabling the user to select a destination set of data objects based on the presented paths. One possible operation associated with this system includes presenting relationships between data objects outside of predefined work flows.
