I have a table which has related terms. By related terms I mean a term can have a broader term and a narrower term. See attached image for more clarification. I have a table called Relation in my database. The table has fields like Id, maintermid, relatedtermid, relationshiptypeid(say 1 for BT, 2 for NT). I run recursive queries to find all the narrower terms for a given term and similarly run recursive queries to find broader terms. My requirement is now to create a web service and send a hierarchical tree as in the attached image. I know how to develop a service but wondering how can I organize my data as a tree to send it via web service.<br />

Microsoft SQL Server is a suite of relational database management system (RDBMS) products providing multi-user database access functionality.SQL Server is available in multiple versions, typically identified by release year, and versions are subdivided into editions to distinguish between product functionality. Component services include integration (SSIS), reporting (SSRS), analysis (SSAS), data quality, master data, T-SQL and performance tuning.

The successor to Active Server Pages, ASP.NET websites utilize the .NET framework to produce dynamic, data and content-driven web applications and services. ASP.NET code can be written using any .NET supported language. As of 2009, ASP.NET can also apply the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern to web applications
