Data System Architecture

About

The basic data element of a tree is called:

  • an Node (Element) in (HTML|XML) and the like
  • an Entry in LDAP
  • a Member in OLAP
  • a file or directory in a file system

It may have attribute

Each element (node) in a tree has exactly one parent, with the exception of the root element, which has none.

Tree - Ancestor (Ascendant)

An element A is called an ancestor of an element B, if and only if B is a descendant of A. Ancestors are element (members) in branches above a element (member).
