ABSTRACT:
A preferred method embodiment of the subject invention comprises a method for dynamically creating hierarchies to be used in database searches, comprising the steps of: (a) defining a data network; (b) receiving a query regarding data stored in one or more databases; and (c) based at least in part on said query and on said data network, dynamically building a hierarchy. A preferred system embodiment of the subject invention comprises a system for dynamically creating hierarchies to be used in database searches, comprising: (a) means for defining a data network; (b) means for receiving a query regarding data stored in one or more databases; and (c) means for, based at least in part on said query, dynamically building a hierarchy from said data network.
