Polyarchical data indexing and automatically generated hierarchical data indexing paths
First Claim
1. A computerized method having a data indexing computer for indexing data, comprising:
- receiving the data to be indexed;
receiving an automatically generated indexing code related to the data;
retrieving an automatically generated expansion set of codes associated with the automatically generated indexing code;
associating the automatically generated expansion set of codes with the data; and
storing an indication of the data associated with the automatically generated expansion set of codes.

Abstract
Data indexing using polyarchical indexing codes and automatically generated expansion paths. For a piece of data, an indexing code is received relating to a particular categorization or other indexing parameter. Based upon the indexing code, one or more expansion sets of codes are retrieved and applied to the piece of data. The expansion sets of codes may include indexing codes that relate to hierarchical levels of indexing. The expansion sets of codes may also include different expansion paths through the hierarchical levels of indexing. The polyarchical codes may include multiple cross-categorization of the data across the same or different levels of categories. They may also include multiple expansion paths in different directions across hierarchical levels of categories or indexing.
