Abstract
A method is provided in one example embodiment and it includes identifying a root word for a tree to be used in managing data and creating a word stem to be included in the tree. A query is initiated to determine whether a stem node exists at one or more branch points of the word, and if the stem node does not exist, then the stem node is added to a branch point of the tree. In more specific embodiments, if the stem node does exist, then node statistics are updated. In other embodiments, the method includes updating a branch point list after creating the word stem. In yet other embodiments, the branch point is a word or a combination of words. The tree can be used to identify locations and frequencies within a document set where one or more words are present.
