US Patent 10216367 Automated visualization and interaction algorithm

One example includes an automated visualization and interaction algorithm. The algorithm includes processing a configuration file to ascertain definitions associated with a specified visualized dataset, and generating and providing queries to a data management tool via a network service interface based on the definitions to access dataset components from the data management tool. The algorithm also includes generating a dataset layer and assigning a category to the dataset layer based on the dataset components. The algorithm further includes assigning a behavior to the dataset layer based on the dataset components, the at least one behavior defining visual characteristics of the dataset layer, and generating a graphical rendering of the dataset layer based on the dataset components to display the dataset layer as a visualized dataset via a graphical user interface (GUI).
