• organizational/management structure hierarchies
• Process hierarchies
• System specification hierarchies: The information relating to a System can be arranged in a hierarchy that stretches from the System name at the top hierarchical Level, down through the different specification Documents, to the individual Attributes. For example: hierarchical tag names.
