Abstract
Methods and systems for providing a network graphical representation of database records. Database records of a record class can be selected according to descriptive criteria. An attribute of the record class can be identified from different data sources, and a network node can be associated to an instance of the attribute from the database records. The network node can be connected with a network link that designates the network node and comprises a common instance of the attribute, wherein the network link can be based on a co-occurrence of attribute values. Additional network nodes can be connected to other network nodes with network links that designate associations between the network nodes. The database records can be visualized using network nodes and network links.
