Abstract
Hierarchical data can be consistently presented in multiple different views. One method involves extracting object information describing at least one object from a database. The object information includes hierarchical information indicating a position of the object within a hierarchy of objects and list information usable to sort of list of objects that includes the object. The method also generates a tree view and a list view for display within a hierarchical data presentation window. The tree view identifies the object, and generation of the tree view is based upon the hierarchical information. The list view identifies the at least one object, and generation of the list view is based upon the list information. The method provides the tree and list views to a display device for display within the hierarchical data presentation window.
