A graphical user interface (GUI) tool for maintaining categorization
schemes includes a categorization area that displays user-input fields
which may be used to define a number of categories and a number of links
that form a categorization scheme. The categorization scheme is organized
to enable the computer-executed process to categorize the data. The
categorization causes the selection of categories that correspond to the
data. The selection is made by making a category determination beginning
at the top level and proceeding to the children of categories that
correspond to the data.
