In general, metadata is stored in a data storage system. Summary data identifying one or more characteristics of each of multiple metadata objects stored in the data storage system is computed, and the summary data characterizing a given metadata object in association with the given metadata object is stored. A visual representation is generated of a diagram including nodes representing respective metadata objects and relationships among the nodes. Generating the visual representation includes superimposing a representation of a characteristic identified by the summary data characterizing a given metadata object in proximity to the node representing the given metadata object.

Visualizing relationships between data elements and graphical representations of data element attributes

In general, a specification of multiple contexts that are related according to a hierarchy is received. Relationships are determined among three or more metadata objects, and at least some of the metadata objects are grouped into one or more respective groups. Each of at least some of the groups is based on a selected one of the contexts and is represented by a node in a diagram. Relationships among the nodes are determined based on the relationships among the metadata objects in the groups represented by the nodes, and a visual representation is generated of the diagram including the nodes and the relationships among the nodes.

Visualizing relationships between data elements

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.
