Abstract

Computer-implemented systems and methods are disclosed to interface with one or more storage devices storing a plurality of documents, wherein each of the plurality of documents is associated with one or more tags of one or more predefined hierarchies of tags, wherein the one or more hierarchies of tags include multiple dimensions. In accordance with some embodiments, a method is provided to identify one or more documents from the data storage devices. The method comprises acquiring, via an interface, a selection of one or more tags of the one or more predefined hierarchies of tags. The method further comprises identifying one or more documents from the data storage devices in response to the selection, the identified one or more documents having tags that have a relationship with the selected tags, and providing data corresponding to the identified documents for displaying in the interface.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An apparatus comprising:
a memory device that stores a set of instructions; and
at least one processor configured to execute the set of instructions to:
communicate with one or more data storage devices configured to store an object model comprising cells, wherein relationships among the cells are based at least in part on relationships among tag values of tags associated with the cells;
receive search criteria including indications of one or more tag values; and
in response to receiving the search criteria:
determine a first cell of the object model matching the one or more tag values indicated in the search criteria;
determine a second cell of the object model that is related to the first cell based on the object model; and
provide, for display in a user interface, indications of one or more data items associated with the second cell.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the set of instructions to:
determine that the second cell is related to the first cell by at least:
determine a first tag common to both the first cell and the second cell, wherein respective first and second tag values of the first tag associated with the respective first and second cells are different; and
determine a relationship between the respective first and second tag values of the first tag associated with the respective first and second cells.

3. The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the first tag value has a hierarchical relationship with the second tag value, in which the second tag value is a subset of the first tag value, or the first tag value is a subset of the second tag value, and wherein identification of at least one or more data items associated with the second cell is based at least in part on the hierarchical relationship.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the set of instructions to:
receive, via the user interface, a selection of a data item from the one or more data items associated with the second cell; and
responsive to the selection of the data item, update the search criteria to include indications of one or more tag values associated with the data item.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the tags associated with the cells include multiple dimensions, and wherein the user interface provides an input selection field for each dimension or a single input selection field that can receive a combination of dimensions of tags.

6. The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the user interface provides a drop down menu to display one or more tags or tag values for selection.

7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the user interface displays a list of selectable items representing the one or more data items associated with the second cell, wherein each selectable item corresponds to an identified data item and includes a title and metadata for the data item, and wherein a selection of one of the selectable items causes the data item corresponding to the selected selectable item to be selected.

8. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the set of instructions to:
receive, via the user interface, an input of one or more tag values, while displaying a data item; and
update one or more tag values associated with the data item based on the input of the one or more tags values.

9. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the set of instructions to:
determine the relationships among the cells in the object model by at least:
representing each cell as a respective multi-dimensional vector based on the combination of tag values associated with the respective cells; and
determining an imaginary distance between the multi-dimensional vectors associated with each pair of cells of the plurality of cells; and

for each pair of cells:
comparing the imaginary distance between the multi-dimensional vectors associated with the pair of cells to a threshold; and
in response to the imaginary distance satisfying the threshold, determining that a relationship exists between the pair of cells.

10. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the set of instructions to:
determine that the second cell is related to the first cell by at least:
determining that a first tag associated with the first cell and a second tag associated with the second cell have a common associated tag dimension in a tag hierarchy based on tag values of the respective first and second tags, wherein the identification of at least one or more data items associated with the second cell is based on both cells having the common tag dimension.

11. A computer-implemented method comprising:
communicating with one or more data storage devices configured to store an object model comprising cells, wherein relationships among the cells are based at least in part on relationships among tag values of tags associated with the cells;
receiving search criteria including indications of one or more tag values; and
in response to receiving the search criteria:
determining a first cell of the object model matching the one or more tag values indicated in the search criteria;
determining a second cell of the object model that is related to the first cell based on the object model; and
providing, for display in a user interface, indications of one or more data items associated with the second cell.

12. The method of claim 11 further comprising:
determining that the second cell is related to the first cell by at least:
determining a first tag common to both the first cell and the second cell, wherein respective first and second tag values of the first tag associated with the respective first and second cells are different; and
determining a relationship between the respective first and second tag values of the first tag associated with the respective first and second cells.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the first tag value has a hierarchical relationship with the second tag value, in which the second tag value is a subset of the first tag value, or the first tag value is a subset of the second tag value, and wherein identification of at least one or more data items associated with the second cell is based at least in part on the hierarchical relationship.

14. The method of claim 11 further comprising:
receiving, via the user interface, a selection of a data item from the one or more data items associated with the second cell; and
responsive to the selection of the data item, updating the search criteria to include indications of one or more tag values associated with the data item.

15. The method of claim 11 , wherein the tags associated with the cells include multiple dimensions, and wherein the user interface provides an input selection field for each dimension or a single input selection field that can receive a combination of dimensions of tags.

16. The method of claim 15 , wherein the user interface provides a drop down menu to display one or more tags or tag values for selection.

17. The method of claim 11 , wherein the user interface displays a list of selectable items representing the one or more data items associated with the second cell, wherein each selectable item corresponds to an identified data item and includes a title and metadata for the data item, and wherein a selection of one of the selectable items causes the data item corresponding to the selected selectable item to be selected.
