Abstract
A facility for representing a set of items each potentially having a value for each of a group of attributes is described. The items are represented in a database made up of two or more discrete components. Each component corresponds to a proper subset of group of attributes, and represents for every item of the set the values of its proper subset of attributes. Every component is organized such that data items are represented within it in the same order.
