French to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering / data management in aircraft parts inventory
French term or phrase: arborescence
Il s’agit donc d’utiliser le référentiel technico-logistique avion (ces informations sont à extraire des systèmes d’information existants de X).

Ces informations sont transférées des outils de X de gestion du référentiel vers le serveur de "logistique collaborative" qui permet ainsi d’accéder par type d'avion, à l’arborescence théorique de décomposition des avions et équipements, soit :
· pour chaque position et point d’emploi, les familles des références des articles « avionables » qui sont suivis en vieillissement :
¨ équivalents, interchangeables, substituables (obsolescences, modifications, préférentiels),
¨ compteurs de vieillissement associés,
¨ données techniques des équipements (ces données sont agrégées au niveau pertinent par références articles ou par points d'emploi) :

tree directory?

bill of materials / parts breakdown
Explanation:
I think 'arborescence de décomposition' here is in the sense of 'nomenclature' in French, a multi-level listing of all parts/items according to unit, subassembly, assembly, etc. It's not usually a diagram, though may be represented as such in a computer program.

Grading comment
While, in the general sense, all your answers are correct (ie, tree structure), David is right in suggestiont 'parts breakdown' for "l’arborescence théorique de décomposition". The software actually represents a tree-like structure for this list/breakdown, hence the 'arborescence'.

Sorry - for \"tree structure\" (computers)

DEF – A data structure that organizes entities or attributes as nodes, with at most one parent node for each node and with only one root node. Source

arborescent development


Explanation:
Hello again Marcus! In relations to aircraft, this refers to the deterioration or corrosion of metals, and is appropriate in this case. I would suggest something like "the theoretical arborescent development..."
Hope this helps you!

Although my comment is correct, it does not really apply to your question nor does it fit in your context, I think Meri is correct with \"tree structure\", sorry about that.

agree  Yolanda Broad: "Parts breakdown" is evidently used in relation to aging parts on aircraft: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q="parts breakdown" aging

agree  Yakov Tomara: Yes, and it doesn't contradict the "tree structure" version as we're actually dealing with the representation of the breakdown
