Specifying a dataflow graph includes: rendering, in a first user interface, a representation of a first dataflow graph. At least one component represents a computation associated with at least one of data flowing into an input port or data flowing out of an output port. A link between components is rendered based on user input indicating a flow of data. In a second user interface, a representation of a sub-graph of the first dataflow graph is rendered. A first flow junction represents a connection between: (1) a flow of data outside the sub-graph interface, and (2) a flow of data inside the sub-graph interface. A link is rendered between the first flow junction and a second flow junction based on user input indicating a relationship between a first descriptor and a second descriptor.

Managing interfaces for sub-graphs

In a general aspect, a method includes displaying a first component of a graph on a user interface, including displaying at least one port of the first component; responsive to a user interaction with the displayed first component, displaying a representation of one or more ports of the first component that is distinct from the display of the first component; and enabling the user to generate a connection between the representation of a particular one of the ports of the first component and a port of a second component of the graph.

Graphical user interface having enhanced tool for connecting components

Information related to a first set of one or more data objects of a plurality of data objects in a database is determined. A composition of one or more actions is applied to determine the information related to the first set of one or more data objects. At least one of the actions includes a navigation action that maps a set of data objects to another set of data objects related according to a relationship type determined from a specification of the navigation action. Applying the composition of one or more actions may include recursive application of the navigation action. The actions may include a second action that performs a function based values associated with the data objects returned by the navigation action, where each value represents an attribute of the associated data object.
