1. A method of data processing, comprising:

  • accessing a data model of a modeled environment from a database, said data model including data defining a plurality of hierarchically arranged subsets of space within the modeled environment and data defining a plurality of items populating the modeled environment;

    displaying a whiteboard window within a display device;

    in response to at least a first user input selecting a plurality of features of said modeled environment, wherein each of said plurality of features of said modeled environment is one of said plurality of subsets of space or one of said plurality of items, displaying within the whiteboard window a plurality of graphical elements that each represent a respective one of said plurality of user selected features;

    in association with said whiteboard window, presenting to the user a control for at least one function; and

    in response to a second user input selecting said control for said function, automatically generating a logical connection between at least two of said plurality of features having corresponding graphical elements within whiteboard window by reference to a rule set and displaying within said whiteboard window a graphical element representing said logical connection.
