ABSTRACT:
A three-dimensional data structure for storing data is defined and maintained. The three-dimensional data structure includes at least one column of data having a depth greater than zero indicating that multiple data values are provided for multiple domains represented by the structure. The data structure also includes zero or more columns of data having a depth of zero indicating that the data value of a zero depth column is invariable for a plurality of domains represented by the structure. The structure is maintained by employing various operations including, create, write and read operations.
