1. A method for data analysis, the method comprising:
receiving, via a user interface, a first user selection of a first set of data objects of a plurality of sets of data objects;
updating the user interface to include an indication of the first set of data objects and an associated first plurality of selectable tools configured to select and present on the user interface aspects of the first set of data objects;
receiving a second user selection of one or more of the plurality of selectable tools to cause respective one or more operations to occur on the first set of data objects in an analysis session for the first set of data objects;
updating the user interface to include a first visualization based on the one or more operations performed on the first set of data objects in the analysis session;
responsive to a third user selection, received via the first visualization of the user interface, of a first subset of data objects of the first set of data objects, updating the user interface to include an indication of the first subset of data objects and an associated second plurality of selectable tools configured to select and present on the user interface aspects of the first subset of data objects;
responsive to a fourth user selection, received via the user interface:
determining a second subset of data objects, wherein the second subset of data objects comprises a difference between the first set of data objects and the first subset of data objects and an associated third plurality of selectable tools configured to select and present on the user interface aspects of the second subset of data objects; and
updating the user interface to include an indication of the second subset of data objects;
responsive to one or more fifth user selections to at least one of the second plurality of selectable tools or the third plurality of selectable tools, determine one or more linked sets of data objects based at least in part on links from data objects of at least one of the first or second subsets of data objects to data objects of another set of data objects, wherein the another set of data objects is different from the first set of data objects, the first subset of data objects, and the second subset of data objects; and
responsive to a sixth user selection, received via the user interface, updating the user interface to include a second visualization based on the one or more linked sets of data objects,
wherein the method is performed by one or more computer hardware processors in communication with one or more non-transitory computer storage mediums, the one or more computer hardware processors configured to execute computer-executable instructions to perform the method.
