  Using Nodes in a Tree Structure to generate Nominal Codes
This design can hold any number of structure (tree) types, with any number of levels and any number of nodes, and also has the ability to enable levels to be added or deleted from a structure without requiring that the whole structure be rebuilt.
This tree structure was implemented in a payroll system in order to record work done by employees on particular tasks for particular projects.
The tree structure contained nodes which identified the various projects and tasks, while the leaf records were entries in a person's payroll data which identified dates and amounts.

 Tree structure - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A tree structure is a way of representing the hierarchical nature of a structure in a graphical form.
It is named a "tree structure" because the graph looks a bit like a tree, even though the tree is generally shown upside down compared with a real tree; that is to say with the root at the top and the leaves at the bottom.
In graph theory, a tree is a connected acyclic graph (or sometimes, a connected directed acyclic graph in which every vertex has indegree 0 or 1).

 Work breakdown structure - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is a fundamental project management technique for defining and organizing the total scope of a project, using a hierarchical tree structure.
It is common for WBS elements to be numbered sequentially to reveal the hierarchical structure.
While it is common for responsibility to be assigned to organizational elements, a WBS that shadows the organizational structure is not descriptive of the project scope and is not outcome-oriented.

 Introduction to XML
A structure of variables (labelled with tags) is a specification that tries to capture those concepts both in the variables themselves and in the structure in which they are organized.
This structure is in the strict form of a hierarchical tree, and the user community determines the syntax of the tree and its semantics (what type of values are allowed, what range or number of values, etc).
The branches of the tree are known as elements or elementNodes and have childNodes and parentNodes

 NETWORKING THE PAST: ARCHAEOLOGICAL DATA MODELS AND ELECTRONIC PUBLICATION ON THE WORLD-WIDE WEB
In addition, because a tree structure is self-replicating and has the same properties recursively at all levels, the spatial hierarchy of archaeological items is infinitely extensible in both directions, both macroscopically and microscopically.
An important point to remember about this hierarchical item-based data model is that because of its abstract structure it provides robust standardization in terms of a basic framework consisting of a tree of items with their attributes, but it does not force standardization in terms of specific content.
The containment tree, Harris Matrix, and network diagram are all, in mathematical terms, node-link "graphs" which represent various complementary views of the database, neatly encapsulating the extrinsic relationships among units of archaeological observation that are difficult to represent in conventional class-based data management systems.

 United States Patent: 6,748,356
A hierarchical speaker tree clustering system clusters homogeneous segments (generally corresponding to the same speaker), and assigns a cluster identifier to each detected segment, whether or not the actual name of the speaker is known.
However, other types of tree structures may be formed in the alternative, as would be readily apparent to a person of ordinary skill in the art, based on the disclosure herein.
As each level of the tree is created, the new models in that generation are treated as new speaker models containing their two children, and the pairing/merging process is continued layer by layer until one root model is reached at the top of the tree.

 Generation of firmware code using a graphic representation - Patent 5999730
Using a recursive process, the constructed hierarchical tree structure is mapped to ASL source code with a structure roughly mirroring that of the tree structure.
The utility includes means for defining a first scope for the root of the hierarchical tree structure and means for attaching a bus object within the first scope of the root of the hierarchical tree structure.
An important aspect of the present invention is the generation of ASL code having a nested structure approximating or roughly mirroring that of the hierarchical tree structure, although differing from the tree structure due to particulars of the coding language.

 Fractal Summarization for Mobile Devices to Access Large Documents on the Web
Hierarchical display is suitable for navigation of a large document and it is ideal for small area display.
The hierarchical structure of summary is suitable for visualization on handheld devices, and it can be further enhanced by two approaches, (i) Fractal View to adjust the size of the tree structure of summary (ii) displaying the sentences in different font sizes according to their importance to help user to focus on important information.
The fractal view [17] determines the size of the hierarchical tree for visualization; branches with fractal values less than a threshold are trimmed off.

 Hierarchical Dynamic Structure   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
One form of structure change is an autonomous transformation in which a single component changes from one structural state to another.
The lower level represents the current structure of a model, while the upper level is the decision-maker directing the structural change.
On the other hand, a hierarchical structure--a tree structure for building dynamic structure--is a modular construction in which components are coupled together to form larger ones in order or one above another.

That is, the overall structure of data is composed of logical subunits which, in turn, are composed of lower-level subunits, working down the hierarchy to the lowest level of individual data items.
This table can be visualized as a hierarchical data structure in the follow way, with data fields contained within (and subordinate to) records, and with records contained within (and subordinate to) the overall table itself.
If a data structure were to be designed for, say, a set of personnel records, it would make sense to create elements that name the data items and describe their relationships as was done for the previous example.

 Tree of Life Structure
The Tree of Life (ToL) is a collection of materials documenting the diversity of the world's organisms.
Life on Earth can be divided into a series of hierarchically nested subgroups, starting at the root of all life and ending at the tips in groups that cannot be further subdivided into distinct genetic lineages, e.g., Homo sapiens (humans).
Following the links up and down the tree, you can wander along the branches, exploring the diversity of many different kinds of organisms, while at the same time being reminded of the genetic connectedness of all of Life.

 Financial event software engine - Patent 20060167771
Each file is a leaf node of a single tree that has the file system itself as a root of the tree and internal nodes that are the directories and subdirectories for organizing the files.
The structure of the Financial Event Tree is completely determined by the user and the Software Engine uses the user's specifications to build the tree and present it to the employee that is using it to enter transactions into the journal.
The root of the XML tree is the tag "FinancialEvents." The leaf nodes of the tree are all tags entitled "FET" which is an acronym for "Financial Event Type".
