摘要： A method and product for associating information pertaining to a meter data acquisition system of a provider of one of a service and a product are provided. The method includes the step of receiving information corresponding to the provider, at least one parent entity that has at least one subordinate entity that receives one of the service and the product from the provider, and the at least one subordinate entity. A tree is formed that includes a root node (402), at least one branch node (404) emanating from the root node, and at least one leaf node (406) emanating from the at least one branch node. The root node corresponds to the provider, the at least one branch node corresponds to the at least one parent entity, and the at least one leaf node corresponds to the at least one subordinate entity. At least some of the received information corresponding to the provider, the at least one parent entity, and the at least one subordinate entity is associated with the root node, the at least one branch node, and the at least one leaf node, respectively. Actions relating to the providing of one of the service and the product are associated with each of the nodes based on the received information associated therewith.
