Abstract
A computing system for representing information, the computing system including at least one processor configured to process information. The processing includes defining a data structure representing a hierarchy of at least one programming attribute for developing an application. The data structure is stored in a file to allow the data structure to be used by other data structures stored in other files. The processing also includes producing a visual diagram including a graphical representation of the data structure and a graphical representation of the file storing the data structure. The visual diagram also includes a graphical representation of a relationship between the data structure and another data structure and a graphical representation of a relationship between the file storing the data structure and another file storing the other data structure. The computing system also including an output device for presenting the visual diagram that includes the graphical representations of the data structure and file and the graphical representations of the relationship of the data structures and the relationship of the files.
