Abstract
A volatile memory manager of a data handling system can be configured to convert the one-to-many external reference into an external reference that references the common ancestor node of the contiguous region. Specific pathing and/or termination conditions can be contained in a Relationship_Path parameter of the external reference. The hierarchical data structure can also be loaded into volatile memory by the volatile memory manager as data structure references. The volatile memory manager can be further configured to perform various functions utilizing the external and data structure references.
