Zusammenfassung:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method, device and computer program for simplifying a visual depiction of a graph. SOLUTION: Methods and apparatus include identifying a node for removal from the visual depiction of the graph, the node having at least two coupling relationships with at least one remaining node, removing the node identified for removal, and creating a virtual coupling relationship for the at least one remaining node in dependence upon the removed node's coupling relationships with the at least one remaining node and displaying the virtual coupling relationship.
