Systems and methods for modeling processing procedures
First Claim
1. A method for implementation of a processing procedure on an object allocated to an object category as an instance of an object type in a computer system, comprising the steps of:
- breaking the object into separately processable, hierarchically classifiable sub-objects as instances of corresponding sub-object types;
processing at least a part of the sub-objects with respective, predetermined partial processing procedures specific to each sub-object type;
processing results obtained from processing the sub-objects and combining the results via a functional relationship in a processing procedure of higher rank than the partial processing procedures; and
deriving an object-specific processing result for the processing procedure, wherein in order to implement the partial processing procedures specific to each sub-object-type, object attributes or attributes of other sub-objects are temporarily made available.

Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for implementation of a processing procedure on an object allocated to an object category as an instance of an object type. In one embodiment, a computerized method is provided. The method may include breaking the object into separately processable, hierarchically classifiable sub-objects as instances of corresponding sub-object types, processing at least a part of the sub-objects with respective predetermined partial processing procedures specific to each sub-object type. The method may further include processing results obtained from processing the sub-objects and combining the results via a functional relationship in a processing procedure of higher rank than the partial processing procedures. An object-specific processing result may then be derived for the processing procedure.

9. A computerized system for managing objects and for the implementation of at least one processing procedure on at least one of the objects allocated in each case to an object category, the system comprising:
-
means for breaking the object down as an instance of an object type into separately processable and hierarchically organized sub-objects as instances of corresponding sub-object types;
at least one processing unit adapted to process at least some of the sub-objects with predetermined partial processing procedures specific to each sub-object type, combine the results therefrom via a functional relationship in a processing procedure of higher rank than the partial processing procedures, and derive an object-specific processing result for the processing procedure; and
a control unit that temporarily makes available in each case object attributes or attributes of other sub-objects for the implementation of the partial processing procedures specific to each sub-object type. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
