A method, apparatus and computer-usable medium is provided for using graphical objects to automate the definition of search queries submitted to an information management system. A search query is defined using a plurality of predetermined search terms represented as graphical objects within a user interface. The search query is structured by spatially referencing the graphical objects to a first area of the user interface, which results in their associated search terms being submitted to an information management system. The results of the search query are then presented in a second area of the user interface. The graphical objects comprise predetermined classifications of information content segmented by the implementation of display attributes. The display attributes depict the information content's source, quantity, format or chronology. The search query results presented in the second area of the user interface change dynamically as the spatial relationship between the graphical objects are changed relative to each other and the first area of the user interface.

Embodiments of the invention may provide the ability to dynamically create and update map projections to reduce the spatial distortion in a desirable way for a specific map view. For example, as a map view is changed, a new central meridian may be selected and a new map projection may be created based on the selected central meridian. Dynamically updating map projections so that all map layers are correctly representing the most important spatial attributes for the given situation may enable a map analyst to correctly interpret the maps being viewed.
