Abstract
Embodiments of methods, apparatuses, devices and/or systems for manipulating hierarchical sets of data are disclosed.
Claims24
A method of generating complex two-dimensional graphical hierarchies for more convenient processing and/or storage, a complex two-dimensional graphical hierarchy being in a form of a tree hierarchy, the method comprising:
- accessing instructions from one or more physical memory devices for execution by one or more processors;
- executing instructions accessed from the one or more physical memory devices by the one or more processors;
- storing, in the at least one of the physical memory devices, signal values resulting from having executed the instructions on the one or more processors, wherein the one or more physical memory devices also store a database or a portion thereof;
- wherein the accessed instructions to transform the database, or the portion thereof, to one or more tree hierarchies;
- and
- wherein executing the accessed instructions further comprises:
- generating at least some tree hierarchy structures and associated tree label values;
- determining, for the at least some tree hierarchy structures and the associated tree label values that were generated, symbol values associated therewith;
- storing, in the at least one of the physical memory devices, the symbol values;
- and
- for respective ones of the at least some tree hierarchy structures and the associated tree label values,
- identifying subtree hierarchies coupled to a root node.
