Apparatus and Method for Collaboratively Analyzing Data Snapshot Visualizations from Disparate Data Sources Using State Based Visual Data Link Recommendations

摘要

A server has a data processing module with instructions executed by a processor to maintain a collection of visualization frames that characterize a sequence of data analytics. Each visualization frame is a snapshot of data and the collection of visualization frames has associated permissions and visualization settings. A user navigation path through the collection of visualization frames is maintained. The navigation path specifies a data set used and a dimension accessed in the data set. A recommendation for a new visualization based upon the user navigation path is supplied. A new visualization selection is accepted and a new visualization is rendered based upon the new visualization selection.
