US Patent 11422985 Interactive data modeling

Embodiments are directed to managing data models. A data source that includes records may be provided. Source fields may be determined based on the records and the source fields may be displayed in a source panel. A data model that includes a source data object may be displayed. Relationships between the source fields may be determined based on values in the records. In response to providing a relationship between the source fields, a data object that includes a key field and one or more data fields that correspond to the relationship may be generated. The data model may be modified to include the data object and to remove the source fields that correspond to the data fields.
