ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a system and methodology for automatic clusterization and display of data items in a local or remote database system. Such clusterization can be based on properties associated with the data items such as a type, location, people, date, time, user-defined, and so forth, wherein an initial property may be employed to form a first level of clusterization and a subsequent property may be automatically determined to form an optimized clusterization from which to find and retrieve desired information. A computerized interface for organizing and retrieving data is provided. The interface includes a property analyzer to determine an item distribution for at least two cluster properties and an organizer that forms new clusters based in part on the item distribution.
