The present disclosure relates to a system and method for linking GUI plug-ins with multiple data providers. Embodiments may include allowing, via one or more computing devices, at least one data provider access to a data abstraction layer. Embodiments may further include allowing at least one GUI plug-in access to the data abstraction layer and receiving, at the data abstraction layer, a query from the at least one GUI plug-in. In response to the query, embodiments may include retrieving one or more data sets from the at least one data provider and aggregating a subset of the one or more data sets from the at least one data provider. Embodiments may further include providing the subset of the one or more data sets to the at least one GUI plug-in.
