Abstract

A system architecture for linking one or more derived objects to existing data objects in a data structure can be organized in a variety of forms. A method for establishing the architecture may include linking first and second data objects. linking first and second data objects. The first and second data objects may be associated with corresponding first and second pluralities of properties. The method may include receiving a first user limitation associated with at least one of the first or second pluralities of properties and receiving a second user limitation associated with at least one of the first or second pluralities of properties. The method can include deriving a conclusion object comprising a third plurality of properties comprising a subset of one or more of the first or second pluralities of properties and linking the conclusion object to the first and second data objects.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A computer-implement method for linking one or more derived objects to existing data objects in a data structure, the method comprising:
linking first and second data objects associated with corresponding first and second pluralities of properties;
receiving, by a first computer, a first user limitation associated with the second plurality of properties;
receiving, by a second computer, a second user limitation associated with of the second plurality of properties, wherein the second user limitation comprises a property type;
based on the first user limitation and on the property type, automatically deriving a conclusion object comprising a third plurality of properties comprising a subset of one or more of the first or second pluralities of properties; and
linking the conclusion object to the first and second data objects.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving, via one or more sensors, detection results, the first plurality of properties comprising the detection results.

3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising generating data for display of the conclusion object and the third plurality of properties.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first plurality of properties comprises results from an investigative experiment.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first user limitation comprises a data range, a data type, or both.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second data object comprises a chart, graph, diagram, plot, map, or table.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising automatically determining the second plurality of properties of the second data object.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving, by the first or second computer, a third user limitation associated with the third plurality of properties.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising deriving, based on the second user limitation, a second conclusion object and linking the second conclusion object to the first and second objects.

10. The method of claim 9 , further comprising replacing the conclusion object with the second conclusion object.

11. The method of claim 9 , further comprising linking the second conclusion object to the conclusion object.

12. A computing system including a data object architecture for linking and relating data objects, the computing system comprising:
a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith; and
one or more processors configured to execute the program instructions to cause the computing system to:
link first and second data objects associated with corresponding first and second pluralities of properties;
receive, by a first computer, a first user limitation associated with the second plurality of properties;
receive, by a second computer, a second user limitation associated with the second plurality of properties, wherein the second user limitation comprises a property type;
based on the first user limitation and on the property type, automatically derive a conclusion object comprising a third plurality of properties comprising a subset of one or more of the first or second pluralities of properties; and
link the conclusion object to the first and second data objects.

13. The computing system of claim 12 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to execute the program instructions to cause the system to receive, via one or more sensors, detection results, the first plurality of properties comprising the detection results.

14. The computing system of claim 12 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to execute the program instructions to cause the system to generate data for display of the conclusion object and the third plurality of properties.

15. The computing system of claim 12 , wherein the first or second pluralities of properties comprises results from an investigative experiment.

16. The computing system of claim 12 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to execute the program instructions to cause the system to automatically determine the second plurality of properties.

17. The computing system of claim 12 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to execute the program instructions to cause the system to receive, by a second computer, a third user limitation associated with the third plurality of properties.

18. The computing system of claim 12 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to execute the program instructions to cause the system to derive, based on the first or second user limitation, a second conclusion object and linking the conclusion new object to the first and second objects.

19. The computing system of claim 18 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to execute the program instructions to cause the system to replace the conclusion object with the second conclusion object.

20. The computing system of claim 18 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to execute the program instructions to cause the system to link the second conclusion object to the conclusion object.
