Abstract
The subject invention provides a system and/or a method that facilitates creating a data structure to provide a proportional data change. The data change is associated to hierarchical data that can represent a database-based file storage system. An interface can receive at least one data change input related to a target within the hierarchical data. In addition, a change definition component can build the data structure to provide a granular update to the target which is proportional to a data change input.
