ABSTRACT:
A method and system for storing and retrieving data in a database system includes associating a plurality of entities in a child/parent hierarchy. The entities are further grouped in types of similar properties, wherein each entity has a unique identifiable position within the child/parent space. References are made to types and properties of the entities in order to store and retrieve associated data about the entity, where the types and properties are mapped to tables of the database.
