AbstractTree is a Cocoa sample application that demonstrates how to use Core Data and Bindings with NSTreeController. The data model is intentionally simple and abstract - you can extend it to any hierarchical model suitable for your problem domain. Likewise, the user interface is minimal - just an outline view and buttons for creating and removing nodes in the tree. In addition, the project shows how to implement drag and drop for managing parent-child relationships of the Core Data content.
