Abstract:
A system for displaying a hierarchical organization comprises a processor, memory, a data source, and a network interface. The processor is configured to receive an indication of a selected individual and provide a display. The display includes the selected individual within a group represented by a first circle. The display comprises one or more groups in the hierarchy, each represented by one of a set of circles above or below a level of the group that includes the individual. The memory is coupled to the processor and is configured to provide the processor with instructions. The data source comprises detailed information about the hierarchical organization and its members. The network interface is configured to communicate with remote devices requesting displays comprising selected individuals.
