The present invention discloses the means to build a content menu for a database management system. A content menu is an end-user access method that consists of a list of lists that describe content in an information system. End-users navigate the content menu to locate information objects at the end of a menu path. Unlike prior content menus, this invention disclosures the means to generate metadata that provide the basis for producing a content menu, at runtime, using "working" content managed by the database. A database structure stores the metadata. The metadata includes database commands and values that produce a list menu and link it to another list menu or information object.
