Can you represent hierarchically structured data in row-column format? Yes, but often you want to validate that structure -- a taxonomy -- before storing it in a database. In this presentation we discuss two important types of taxonomies -- materialized path and adjacent list -- and show how you can manipulate them in Perl.
