ORGANIZING PRIME DATA ELEMENTS USING A TREE DATA STRUCTURE

A first name of a first prime data element may be used to traverse a sequence of edges in a tree data structure to navigate to a leaf node which corresponds to a set of prime data elements, where each edge in the sequence of edges may correspond to a successive portion of the first name. The leaf node may store navigation lookahead fields, where each navigation lookahead field may store one or more further successive portions of a name of a corresponding prime data element in the set of prime data elements. The navigation lookahead fields may be used to determine where to insert the first prime data element in the leaf node. An entry in the leaf node may be allocated to store information related to the first prime data element.
