See full text

A method and system for selection of hierarchically related information. Initially, topics are displayed in the content variable list which encompass a first set of information. Upon receiving input from the user, new topics appropriate to the user input are displayed in the content variable list which encompass a second set of information hierarchically related to the first set of information. A selected topic is then obtained from the user from among the new topics displayed. Information is then obtained which is encompassed by the selected topic. In a preferred embodiment, this information is obtained by performing a database query using the selected topic as a query topic.
