"A structure in which components are ranked into levels of subordination; each component has zero, one, or more subordinates; and no component has more than one superordinate component." (IEEE," IEEE Standard Glossary of Software Engineering Terminology", 1990)
"An organizational structure that defines the relationship between master data elements." (Janice M Roehl-Anderson, "IT Best Practices for Financial Managers", 2010)
"The principle of hierarchy advocates the creation of a hierarchical organization of abstractions using techniques such as classification, generalization, substitutability, and ordering." (Girish Suryanarayana et al, "Refactoring for Software Design Smells: Managing Technical Debt", 2015)
"An organisation structure wherein the authority available to a role increases upwards through the structure, increasing as work complexity increases. The authority structure of the organisation is made visible and accessible by means of role titles. In a correctly structured organisation each role has the authority that is necessary to perform the work assigned to the role and this provides the connection between role authority and work." (Catherine Burke et al, "Systems Leadership, 2nd Ed,", 2018)
