Abstract
Systems and methods for providing a Spatially Partitioned Ideally Chunked Entity ('SPICE') tree data structure are provided herein. In an example, a computerized method for using a SPICE tree includes determining a document defined by a SPICE tree data structure and navigating to content within the document based on the SPICE tree data structure. The SPICE tree data structure includes a root chunk containing radar nodes and a plurality of chunks. Each chunk includes one or more object nodes, each of which corresponds to a document attribute. Each of the radar nodes includes a reference to one of the chunks and the object nodes include a placeholder node that provides a reference to another chunk based on a position of the placeholder node within the respective chunk. The root chunk and the chunks are arranged in a hierarchical arrangement with the root chunk being a parent to the chunks.
