The database is arranged in the form of a tree-structured directed graph in which each of the plurality of keys is represented by a series of nodes and arcs defining a path between a root node and a terminal node, each node being linked to at least one other node by a respective arc, respective arcs for a given one of the plurality of keys representing a respective character or characters of the given key. The arcs and the nodes depending from the root node of data items which represent a sequence of characters shared by different keys are combined, and the data tags are associated with the arcs.
