System and method for managing hierarchical objects
First Claim
1. A system for managing at least one hierarchical data list, comprising:
- a hierarchical data container creating module that creates at least one hierarchical data container;
a hierarchical data list creating module that creates at least one hierarchical data list that comprises the at least one hierarchical data container;
a command creating module that enables a user to create at least one command that stores data in the at least one hierarchical data container; and
a command submitting module that enables a user to submit the at least one command to the hierarchical data container creating module;
wherein the hierarchical data list creating module creates the at least one hierarchical data list based on information received from the command submitting module.

Abstract
A system and method for storing hierarchical objects. The system stores a list of hierarchies as a single object. The object includes all information relating to a particular data element. The data element may be a concept. The concept may include all related information such that if one or more portions of the data element are requested by a user, the entire data object including the requested portions is retrieved. A user may navigate forward and backward through the hierarchy and search for other information. The object is stored as a self-defining object such that all information relating to the data element is stored within the object.
