Patent

CA 2136155

There is provided a graphical user interface and computer- implemented method for browsing a database or like collection of information where data is organized in multiple dimensions. The interface and method operate to display on a computer screen a frame window containing a first listing of objects in the collection, where the objects are grouped in the listing in tree-view form according to a first expansion sequence, and to display in the same window a second similar listing of objects in the collection which replaces the first listing and whose objects are grouped according to a user selectable other expansion sequence. The objects in the first and second listings are each selectable to display further objects comprised in the collection and associated with the selectable objects, the further objects being represented in nested listings immediately following the selectable objects to which the further objects are associated. The interface and method offer multiple concurrent views of the data to be browsed but do not suffer the disadvantage of using a filtering scheme for limiting the amount of information displayed.
