Abstract

See full text

A system and method for dynamically building hierarchical groupings of business information based on member characteristics. The system includes a computer program that comprises: (1) a mechanism for choosing one or more characteristic orderings (i.e., a hierarchical model), a characteristic set made up of N characteristics, and an initial set of members; (2) a mechanism for assigning characteristic values for each of the N characteristics for each of the initial set of members; (3) a mechanism for dynamically creating hierarchical levels and level to level relationships based on the chosen characteristic order; and (4) a mechanism for dynamically creating new members and member to member relationships in each of the hierarchical levels.
