Abstract

The described arrangements and procedures dynamically generate a data polyarchy from information received from a data store (e.g., a directory or database). The data polyarchy represents multiple hierarchies of inter-object relationships based on values of attributes of the objects. These multiple hierarchies are generated and represented in a manner that is independent of object naming and predetermined hierarchical data structures.
