Method and user interface for the forming a representation of data with meta - morphing

摘要

A computer-implemented method of making a presentation of data requested by a question received via a user interface of a database, wherein data items are categorized as measures or dimensions, and in which question data items of the type measures or dimensions can be associated to specify a set of data; the method comprises the following steps: parsing (301) the question for associations of dimensions and measures, if no association is found, create an association (307); searching (311) for presentation properties of stored associations; if presentation properties are found applying (313) the presentation properties to make a presentation of data specified by the association. Thereby, a user can request a computer presentation of data based on higher or lower levels of abstraction while the computer ensures that a user's preferences are applied. ??Additionally, a computer-readable medium, a computer program product and a user-interface is disclosed.
