Abstract

See full text

A system that provides for the graphic visualization of the categories of a collection of records. The graphic visualization is referred to as 'category graph.' The system optionally displays the category graph as a 'similarity graph' or a 'hierarchical map.' When displaying a category graph, the system displays a graphic representation of each category. The system displays the category graph as a similarity graph or a hierarchical map in a way that visually illustrates the similarity between categories. The display of a category graph allows a data analyst to better understand the similarity and dissimilarity between categories. A similarity graph includes a node for each category and an arc connecting nodes representing categories whose similarity is above a threshold. A hierarchical map is a tree structure that includes a node for each base category along with nodes representing combinations of similar categories.
