Abstract
A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture for an encoder for encoding members in a concept hierarchy. A query is executed in a computer. The query is performed by the computer to retrieve data from a database stored on a data storage device connected to the computer. Members in the database that are related by one or more concept hierarchies are encoded. Then, members in one of the concept hierarchies that are descendants of one or more selected concepts are identified based on the encoding.
