1. A method of analyzing dependencies of components in a component model of a business, comprising:
- generating a semantic business model by applying a business meta-model to a description of the business;
presenting to a user a component business model of the business, and receiving from the user an analytical query of the component business model;
executing the query through the semantic business model to provide a response to the query, said executing inferring dependencies among components of the component business model; and
returning the response and said inferred dependencies to the user.
