Abstract
A method of data management includes the steps of receiving a plurality of values, obtaining descriptions, each of the descriptions describing a corresponding one of the values, linking each of the values with a corresponding one of the descriptions, generating pointers, each of the pointers pointing to a corresponding one of the values, organizing the pointers in an arrangement representing a set having the values as elements, obtaining a description of the set, and linking the arrangement with the description of the set, wherein a data structure relating the values with each other is determined by the arrangement through accumulation of the values.
