ABSTRACT:
Data having express or implied relationships may be displayed by selecting a starting entity in a data structure, building a relationship tree, and building and optimizing a relationship matrix based on the relationship tree. The optimized relationship matrix may be used to layout and render a graphical image that positions various elements with respect to the starting entity based on the relationships. The distance matrix may be optimized by creating a first distance matrix based on the relationship tree, developing a dissimilarity matrix based on expressed or implied relationships, and multiplying the dissimilarity matrix by a weighting factor to determine a distance matrix that may be optimized by multi-dimensional scaling. An optimized weighting factor may be determined and used to select an optimized distance matrix.
