File format. Each row of the file is made up of:
hierarchy_node nodeID nodeDescription nodeParent


hierarchy_node: must be one of the following:
Decision
Function
Objective
Value_Measure

nodeID: must be unique and made up of a leading alphabetic (a-z or A-Z) character followed by alphanumeric (a-z or A-Z or 0-9) characters.

Example of nodeID with respect to hierarchy_node:
(hierarchy_node, nodeID)
Decision, D
Function, f2
Objective, ob7
Value_Measure, vm17

nodeDescription: text description with no white spaces (blanks). For a white space use underscore ('_').
Example: hierarchy_node = 'Decision', nodeID = 'D', nodeDescription = 'Select_the_best_data_centre_design_and_location_for_future_mission_support'

nodeParent: the parent node identification which the nodeID attaches to.

Example:
Decision D Select_the_best_data_centre_design_and_location_for_future_mission_support 0
Function f2 Provide_the_best_location D
Objective ob7 Min_travel_time f2
Objective ob8 Max_physical_security f2
In this example the decision node is 'D' having no parent hence '0' (numeric zero).
The function 'Provide_the_best_location' has nodeID 'f2' with parent 'D', hence 'f2' attaches to node 'D'.
Similary both the objective nodes 'ob7' and 'ob8' attach to 'f2'
