Abstract
Data structure that is associated with an hierarchical file system of a computational system. The hierarchical file system includes a set of files arranged in a directory structure including a set of directories. The data structure includes a data store with a set of reference data objects (topics) and a set of coupling data elements. The set of coupling data elements includes at least: one coupling data element for coupling a first item selected from either the set of reference data objects or the set of files or the set of directories with a second item from either the set of reference data objects or the set of files or the set of directories.
Claims33
Data structure associated with an hierarchical file system of a computational system,
- the hierarchical file system comprising a set of files arranged in a directory structure comprising a set of directories;
- the data structure comprising a data store;
- the data store comprising a set of reference data objects (topics) and a set of coupling data elements,
- wherein the set of coupling data elements comprise at least:
- one coupling data element for coupling a first item selected from either the set of reference data objects or the set of files or the set of directories with a second item from either the set of reference data objects or the set of files or the set of directories.
Method for management of content of an electronic hierarchic file system of a computational system,
- the hierarchical file system comprising a set of files arranged in a directory structure comprising a set of directories;
- the method comprising:
- holding in a data store, data comprising a set of one or more reference data objects (topics) and a set of coupling data elements;
- further comprising:
- coupling a first item selected from either the set of reference data objects or the set of files or the set of directories with a second item selected from either the set of reference data objects or the set of files or the set of directories;
- storing a coupling data element of the first item and the second item in the data store.
Computer program for execution on a computer system, the computer system comprising a processing unit and memory connected to the processing unit,
- the computer system being arranged with an electronic hierarchic file system of a computational system,
- the hierarchical file system comprising a set of files arranged in a directory structure comprising a set of directories;
- the computer program consisting of a set of instructions, executable by the processing unit
- consisting of a set of instructions, executable by a computer system,
- wherein the set of instructions after being loaded in the memory allows the processing unit to carry out:
- holding in a data store, data comprising a set of one or more reference data objects (topics) and a set of coupling data elements;
- further comprising:
- coupling a first item selected from either the set of reference data objects or the set of files or the set of directories with a second item from either the set of reference data objects or the set of files or the set of directories;
- storing a coupling data element of the first item and the second item in the data store.
