For "dynamic" reference data (data you want to keep, and that you want to keep editing and improving over time) the concept of a wiki (even if its collaboration aspect is not being used) is perfect, in my opinion. If you try wikidpad, you'll see how organic and pragmatic it is, allowing you to just input new data and constructing an overview tree dynamically. Pretty cool. Whenever I have time, I will check the algorithm WikiDPad uses to create the visualization tree (which is also one of its greates features, in my opinion). Cheers, Marcelo.
