Abstract
Methods for Providing a Network Graphical Representation of Database Records. Database records are selected according to descriptive criteria, wherein each of the database records are members of a common record class. Attributes of the common record class and identified and network nodes are associated to instances of the attributes from the database records. The network nodes are connected with network links that designate network nodes having common instances of the attributes such that the network nodes have a one-to-many relationship with the network links. The identifying and connecting steps are iteratively executed while modifying the descriptive criteria to change the selected database records.
