ABSTRACT:
A system including a method for cohesively storing and retrieving heterogeneous classification systems. The database schema of the present invention is constructed of three data substructures, the Attribute Classification, Attribute Value Instance and Attribute Value schemes. The three structures track globally uniquely identified representations of the descriptions, values, and attributes of various differing classification systems and their respective contents. The use of uniquely identifiable elements throughout the database schema allows computerized management of noncompatible classification systems without programming modifications as required in the prior art systems.
