Adjusting ranges of directed graph ontologies across multiple dimensions

A processor-implemented method constructs and utilizes an ontological graph. One or more processor(s) receive a seed term from a user, and then receive a first expansion signal from the user. In response to receiving the first expansion signal, the processor(s) automatically generate an ontological...

Summary:A processor-implemented method constructs and utilizes an ontological graph. One or more processor(s) receive a seed term from a user, and then receive a first expansion signal from the user. In response to receiving the first expansion signal, the processor(s) automatically generate an ontological graph. The processor(s) display terms from the ontological graph as string literals in a dictionary, which contains related other terms at a resolution level that is controlled by the first expansion signal from the user and the seed term. The processor(s) then receive a second expansion signal from the user. In response to receiving the second expansion signal, the processor(s) expand the ontological graph to display additional terms that are related to the nodes represented in the ontological graph that was generated by the first expansion signal.
