Paths

Paths are created to be an important index to the hierarchies of presentation and definition linkbases. The existence of a hierarchy node causes one or more paths to be added to this array indexed by its label. When a user wants to find the location of a node within a hierarchy the user can look for the label in the index of the path array and, if found, learn of the path(s) to the node. The generated paths are strings which are the labels of the nodes in the hierarchy from the root to the node concatenated together using the backslash (/) character as a separator.
