Abstract

Systems and methods are provided for integrated data analysis. At least one object that is responsive to a first search query is determined. The object is stored in an object model that is managed by a first computing platform, and the at least one object is associated with one or more properties. One or more data sets that are responsive to a second search query are determined. The data sets are managed by a second computing platform. The one or more data sets are determined related to the at least one object. The at least one object is updated to include at least one property that references at least one analysis that relies on the one or more data sets.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A computing system comprising:
One or more processors; and
memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to perform:
identifying, in response to a first search query including search criteria, at least one object of a plurality of objects stored in an object model that is managed by a first object-based computing platform, the at least one object including one or more properties and one or more relationships with at least one other object of the plurality of objects stored in the object model;
identifying, in response to a second search query, one or more data sets, the one or more data sets being stored and managed by a second relational-based computing platform, the one or more data sets comprising tabular data sets, the second relational-based computing platform not being capable of storing or managing objects in an object model;
generating a first analysis that relies on the one or more data sets by filtering or consolidating the one or more data sets;
determining that the one or more data sets are related to the at least one object of the plurality of objects stored in the object model;
updating, in response to user input, the at least one object of the plurality of objects stored in the object model to include at least one property that references the first analysis, thereby linking at least one property of the one or more properties of the at least one object of the plurality of objects stored in the object model to one or more columns of the one or more data sets being stored and managed by the second relational-based computing platform;
generating, in response to user interaction with the updated at least one object of the plurality of objects stored in the object model, at least one second analysis, different from the first analysis, that references the at least one other object of the plurality of objects stored in the object model and the first analysis that relies on the one or more data sets.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the first analysis is accessible to other users of the computing system when interacting with the at least one object.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one object is defined by object components including the one or more properties and the one or more relationships with the at least one other object of the plurality of objects stored in the object model and at least one of: media and note.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one object is associated with a person.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the one or more data sets are configured to store records of people.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein updating the at least one object to include the at least one property that references the first analysis that relies on the one or more data sets comprises:
providing an option to link the first analysis to the at least one object;
receiving a user operation in response to the provided option; and
updating the at least one object to include the at least one property based on the received operation.

7. The system of claim 1 , further comprising providing one or more of the analyses through an interface.

8. A method being implemented by a computing system including one or more physical processors and storage media storing machine-readable instructions, the method comprising:
identifying, in response to a first search query including search criteria, at least one object of a plurality of objects stored in an object model that is managed by a first object-based computing platform, the at least one object including one or more properties and one or more relationships with at least one other object of the plurality of objects stored in the object model;
identifying, in response to a second search query, one or more data sets, the one or more data sets being stored and managed by a second relational-based computing platform, the one or more data sets comprising tabular data sets, the second relational-based computing platform not being capable of storing or managing objects in an object model;
generating a first analysis that relies on the one or more data sets by filtering or consolidating the one or more data sets;
determining that the one or more data sets are related to the at least one object of the plurality of objects stored in the object model;
updating, in response to user input, the at least one object of the plurality of objects stored in the object model to include at least one property that references the first analysis, thereby linking at least one property of the one or more properties of the at least one object of the plurality of objects stored in the object model to one or more columns of the one or more data sets being stored and managed by the second relational-based computing platform;
generating, in response to user interaction with the updated at least one object of the plurality of objects stored in the object model, at least one second analysis, different from the first analysis, that references the at least one other object of the plurality of objects stored in the object model and the first analysis that relies on the one or more data sets.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the first analysis is accessible to other users of the computing system when interacting with the at least one object.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the at least one object is defined by object components including the one or more properties and the one or more relationships with the at least one other object of the plurality of objects stored in the object model and at least one of: media and note.

11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the at least one object is associated with a person.

12. The method of claim 8 , wherein the one or more data sets are configured to store records of people.

13. The method of claim 8 , wherein updating the at least one object to include the at least one property that references the first analysis that relies on the one or more data sets comprises:
providing an option to link the first analysis to the at least one object;
receiving a user operation in response to the provided option; and
updating the at least one object to include the at least one property based on the received operation.

14. The method of claim 8 , further comprising providing one or more of the analyses through an interface.
