Abstract: A computer user interface may be used to create and maintain semantic relationships between data objects on a computer system. Multiple sets of data objects identified by user selections, queries, searches, or other criteria may be presented in display panes on the user interface. Users may then select data objects via the user interface in order to view or create new relationships between the data objects. Based on the selection of the data objects and a determination of the associated data object types, a set of semantic relationships applicable to the selected data object or objects may be retrieved and displayed in the user interface. A user may subsequently select and create an appropriate semantic relationship between data objects, thereby not only establishing an association between the objects, but providing a specific and useful meaning to the association.
