It would be great if Eramba could build a visualization of the relations between Assets, potentially even including risks (using color), controls and policies (but even a visualization of just the Asset would already be really helpful). The Cytoscape JavaScript library makes these visuals really easy to make, I just it myself a couple of times, for example, to show the relationship between of Legal Entities:
If this relation would be defined/used as a pure parent relationship (parent or parents of this asset) you would be able to get a full hierarchical relationship not? While MySQL doesn’t come with any good native graph queries I think it doesn’t directly request any modifications.
