Abstract
A data or file management system, communicating with a database directly or via a network interface, using a tree structured interface with simultaneous navigation within a tree branched map and display of content in a first, map, and second, content, window, respectively. Filter or sorting functions may be applied between the tree structured map interface and the content interface. Data found relating to downstream areas of interest in the tree branched map are all analyzed and indicated in the second window holding the content interface.
