Abstract

Accessing data in a database includes receiving, from a first user, a first query for a dataset stored in a database. A first set of patterns is provided in the dataset. For each pattern in the first set of patterns, a significance value is provided in response to the received first query. A set of tags is provided for flagging a pattern of the first set of patterns, the set of tags indicating at least two data categories describing the pattern. Input information received from the first user indicates tags of at least a first subset of patterns of the first set of patterns, wherein each tag of the tags is selected from the set of tags. The significance values of the first subset of patterns are adjusted based on the tags.
