ABSTRACT:
A method for creating a class hierarchy containing categories for classification of documents. The class hierarchy is initialized to contain a root category node within a tree data structure. The root category node is defined by a user-defined category name. The class hierarchy is displayed to assist a user in entering a command for manipulating the class hierarchy. A user may select a category command, resulting in the class hierarchy containing a plurality of category nodes. In addition, a user may select a terms command to manipulate terms defining one of the plurality of category nodes.
