Abstract
Embodiments disclosed herein provide data management systems with an ability to integrate parent-child and peer-to-peer relationships (e.g., hierarchies) in a single interface, allowing a user to parent/unparent, link/unlink, merge/unmerge, and modify trusted attributes in a single interaction using highly accurate algorithms to provide data, including hints and recommendations for the management of these hierarchies. A user interface allows a user to perform hierarchy global management functions including read, write, business-to-business (B2B) search, navigation, and maintenance.
