Abstract: In an embodiment, a computer system instantiates an interactive layout system that is configured to display a layout with various diagram portions, where each diagram portion includes layout parts and corresponding constraints identifying how the layout parts of the diagram portion are to be displayed. The computer system receives input from a user indicating that at least one of the diagram portions is to be moved. The computer system determines the manner in which each diagram portion is to be moved based on the received user input. The moving includes rotating and/or scaling the diagram portions of the layout according to the received user input, such that the layout parts remain fixed in position relative to one another, but are scaled and/or rotated to fit the surrounding layout according to the corresponding constraints. The computer system dynamically moves the layout parts of the diagram portions according to the determination.

Abstract: A system that can identify, create, update and/or process a workflow based upon a current, past or future activity is disclosed. A ‘workflow’ can be defined as an activity flow that includes interaction with, or assignment of work to, people, devices, or services by a single individual or a group of individuals. Once a workflow is determined in accordance with the innovation, the system can inform other users or groups that are performing, or intend to perform, a similar or like activity. In establishing the workflow, the innovation can operate in an ad hoc or authored manner. As well, the system can employ a combination of either ad hoc or authored mechanisms in establishment of the workflow.

Abstract: A graph processing module is described for visualizing relationships among components, such as software components within a software system. The graph processing module generates group results based on grouping information which identifies groups of individual components. The graph processing module uses the group results to bias component-level analysis that it performs on the components. In one case, the component-level analysis can involve similarity analysis (e.g., using multidimensional scaling) to assess the similarity among components and importance analysis (e.g., using a network page ranking algorithm) to assess the relative importance of the components. The results of the component-level analysis can be presented for visualization. The biasing effects of the grouping results provide insight into the relationships among the components.

Abstract: A user interface, system, and method are disclosed to facilitate specification of queries and displaying corresponding results. The user interface presents the user with dimensions that contain one or more headings arranged according to an information taxonomy, which can vary based on the intended implementation for the system and user interface. A corresponding filter or query is constructed based on the user selecting of one or more headings. The filter is applied to one or more databases to return results that satisfy the filter. The results are presented in the user interface and can include interactive items based on a particular query as well as can correspond to a fully specified task.

Abstract: A system (and corresponding methodology) by which a user can interact directly with visual data is provided. The system employs associations and relationships between visual data objects to automatically update objects based upon a change in other objects. The innovation also provides specialized controls (e.g., dashboard tools/controls) that facilitate manipulation of visual data. As there can be numerous manners in which a user can interact with visualization data, the innovation enables a specialized set of controls to be identified and provided to a user thereby reducing overwhelming effects of a large number of controls.

Abstract: Various types of data can be collected into a data set and related content and/or related concepts across the data in the data set and/or across search histories can be displayed as a visual representation. The related content/concepts can be presented as a function of incremental revealing of relationships. After reviewing the visual representation, a user can customize the data set and relationships by specifically excluding a related data segment. The visual representation can be applied across multiple searches or other obtained data. Through interaction with the visual representation, a user can drill down into common linkages of the data to more narrowly focus on a subset of the data and/or to refocus a search result and/or to provide annotations.

Abstract translation: 可以将各种类型的数据收集到数据集中，并且跨数据集中的数据和/或跨越搜索历史的相关内容和/或相关概念可以被显示为视觉表示。 相关内容/概念可以作为递增揭示关系的函数来呈现。 在查看可视化表示之后，用户可以通过专门排除相关的数据段来自定义数据集和关系。 视觉表示可以应用于多个搜索或其他获取的数据。 通过与视觉表示的交互，用户可以深入了解数据的公共连接，以更狭义地关注数据的子集和/或重新聚焦搜索结果和/或提供注释。

Abstract: The claimed subject matter relates to an architecture that can support a declarative model-based approach to designing, constructing, and rendering visualizations. By complying with a declarative descriptor, components can be readily customized by way of modifications to the model—declaratively specifying suitable features, behaviors, appearances and so forth. The descriptors that conform to the model can also facilitate connecting to various data sources and performing data transformation operations. Moreover, the descriptors that conform to the model can declaratively specify relationships based upon a scene layout. Accordingly, the architecture can further describe the scene layout and provide features based upon the layout.

Abstract translation: 所要求保护的主题涉及可以支持基于声明的基于模型的方法来设计，构建和呈现可视化的架构。 通过符合声明性描述符，可以通过对模型的修改（声明性地指定合适的特征，行为，外观等）来容易地定制组件。 符合该模型的描述符还可以方便连接到各种数据源并执行数据转换操作。 此外，符合模型的描述符可以根据场景布局声明性地指定关系。 因此，架构可以进一步描述场景布局并且基于布局提供特征。
