Abstract
Methods and systems in a data-processing system for matching data contained in a hierarchical data tree structure. One or more sets of data contained within a first data tree structure can be associated with one or more sets of data contained within a second data tree structure, such that the data associated with the first data tree structure is generally utilized to process the data associated with the second data tree structure. The first data tree structure can then be compared in parallel to the second data tree structure beginning with a first root thereof to thereby identify data similarities between the first and second data tree structures based on a predefined search criteria. Finally, one or more matching set of data between the first data tree structure and the second data tree structure can be identified, in response to comparing the first data structure to the second data structure.
