Abstract
A method, system and program product for classifying data elements into different levels of a business hierarchy. The method includes identifying data elements to be classified into one or more levels of a business hierarchy, selecting a first logic decision tree for evaluating the data elements identified for classification into the hierarchy and executing the first tree for recursively evaluating each data element identified until the first tree has been traversed. Further, the method includes dynamically creating configurable anchor point classifications for the data elements evaluated through the first tree and assigning a respective anchor point classification to each data element evaluated, such that, a respective anchor point classification assigned to a data element evaluated links the data element to a lowest level of the hierarchy, and where the anchor point classification conveys classification information as to each higher level of the hierarchy that the data element belongs to.
