Information management structure
First Claim
1. An information management method comprising:
- preparing an information management structure adapted to model business operations using data objects, wherein content for at least some of the objects relates to the operations, the preparing of the information management structure comprising;
assigning a unique identifier to each object;
defining an object composition for each object;
defining an object behavior for each object;
defining an object interrelationship for each object as to how that object relates to at least one other object, the at least one other object being identified using its unique object identifier;
defining an object interaction for each object as to how that object interacts with at least one other object, the at least one other object being identified using its unique object identifier; and
defining an insight into a selected group of objects based on at least one of the object composition definition, the object behavior definition, the object interrelationship definition, and the object interaction definition for each object in the selected group of objects.

Abstract
An information management method includes a step of preparing an information management structure adapted to model business operations using data objects. The content for at least some of the objects relates to the operations. The preparing of the information management structure includes the following steps. A unique identifier is assigned to each object. An object composition, an object behavior, an object interrelationship (how that object relates to at least one other object), and an object interaction (how that object interacts with at least one other object) is defined for each object. The at least one other object is identified in a definition using its unique object identifier. An insight into a selected group of objects is defined based on the object composition definition, the object behavior definition, the object interrelationship definition, the object interaction definition, or any combination thereof, for each object in the selected group of objects.

22. A computer system comprising:
-
a data repository;
a server communicably coupled to the data repository; and
system software residing in the computer system, the system software being adapted to run on the server and adapted to model business operations using data objects, wherein content for at least some of the objects relates to the operations, the system software being adapted to;
